The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at what’s cookin’ for Montauk.
Honestly, folks, I gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days are a real heartbreaker. We’ve got a solid stretch of nothing good on the horizon. From Thursday, July 30th, all the way through Friday, August 14th, there’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a two-week-plus flat spell.
The only spot in the game is Montauk Point - Turtles (Montauk-Point-Turtles). It’s a reef break, exposed to the swell, but the wave energy is just pathetic. We start off Thursday with a bit of a bump – 4ft at 8 seconds from the SSE, giving us a combined energy of 247 (moderate). But the wind is a nasty cross-off at 16 mph, ruining any chance of a clean wave. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
Friday morning on July 31st teases us. Swell drops to 3ft from the SSE, period is 9 seconds, energy is down to 136. But oh, the wind goes glassy at 3 mph from the SW. It’s clean, but it’s just a tiny, weak wave. After that, it’s a long, slow decline. The wind swings onshore and stays there, blowing out everything. The swell drops to knee-high and stays there for days, with the combined energy falling into the double digits (weak). By the time we get to early August, waves are smaller than 2ft with periods of 6-7 seconds, and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore breeze. It’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s.
There’s a tiny flicker of life on Friday, August 7th, with 3ft from the SSE and a glassy morning, but the period is only 5 seconds and the energy is just 54. It’s a lake, not an ocean. Then on Saturday, August 8th, the swell picks up a touch to 3ft with 155 energy, but the wind is onshore and choppy. It’s the same story all the way through mid-August.
There is no standout. There is no best day. The entire 16-day window is a dud. If you gotta get wet, the only consolation is that it’s a reef, so even small swells can wrap in, but with all that onshore wind, it’s just a mess.
Rusty.
