The Lowdown
Alright, let me be straight with you. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim around Montauk Point – Turtles. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands, and honestly, there’s not a single standout session in the whole window. I wouldn’t bother waxing up just yet.
Right now, Friday the 24th is a write-off. Tiny, weak swell, poor conditions, and a cross-onshore wind messing it up. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a couple of degrees colder than we’d expect for late July – feels more like spring. That chill is a bit of a shock.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th don’t get any better. The wind is up, the swell is small and messy, and the energy is weak. Sunday morning shows a bit of a bump in energy (240) and a cleaner look with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s only a marginal 3ft. It’s barely worth a paddle.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Monday the 27th through to the end of the month, it’s just poor surf after poor surf. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is tiny, and the period is short. There’s a brief moment on Thursday the 30th afternoon where the swell picks up to 5ft from the SSE with a 10-second period and clean cross-offshore wind. That’s the biggest wave we see, but it’s still only rated as marginal. The energy jumps up to 611, which is moderate, but the quality is just not there.
The first week of August is a total bust. Mostly small, weak, and choppy. The only real glimmer comes on Tuesday the 4th of August morning. We get a tiny 2ft swell from the south, but the wind goes completely glassy – dead calm, 0 mph. That’s rare. The conditions will be clean, but the waves are so small it’s barely surfable. It’s a morning for a longboard if you’re desperate for a glide.
After that, the rest of the run is more of the same: small, short period slop with onshore winds. There’s nothing that gets close to being a good session. Honestly, this is one of those stretches where you’d be better off doing something else.
