The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about this in feet and miles per hour.
So, we're looking at a pretty grim stretch for Montauk Point - Turtles. We've got a solid 16-day window, but honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off. There's a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for, from the start all the way through to the end of July. The water is much colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at about 66°, which is a full 4.7° below average—that's a notable chill, even for the Montauk area.
The only real glimmer of hope is way out there on Monday, the 3rd of August. That morning, we finally get a bit of a pulse. The wind will be offshore from the WNW at 12 mph, which is a major positive, keeping things clean. We’re looking at a solid 5.6 ft swell coming from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (476). It’s not a monster, but it’s the best on offer by a long shot. The only issue is this spot is a reef, and with that south swell, it gets exposed. It’s also a spot that can get crowded sometimes, so just keep that in mind. For anyone intermediate and up, that Monday morning session is the one to circle on the calendar. Everything else in this outlook is pretty much a no-go, so if you’re keen, you’ve got to wait for it.
