The Lowdown
Alright, this is a bit of a tough one for the Montauk area. The first couple of weeks look pretty bleak, but we might have a little window of something to work with later on.
The whole 16-day outlook kicks off with a real slow patch. The first sign of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 22nd of July at Montauk Point - Turtles (reef break). That’s a solid week of small, junky, or blown-out conditions from the get-go. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much before that.
That Wednesday morning the 22nd is the only real standout in the whole run. The swell picks up to 6 ft from the SSW with a 9-second period, giving a strong wave energy reading (626). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the West, which is going to keep the break clean. That’s a solid, surfable wave for an intermediate surfer, and the water is about 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The wave direction is a good match for the optimum here. This is your best bet. The afternoon of the 22nd still has clean 5 ft swell, but it’s a bit more marginal.
Before that, the 20th and 21st have some size (5 ft to 7 ft), but the wind is a mess. Onshore and cross-shore winds from the East and South will make it choppy and lumpy. The energy on the 21st gets up to a strong 522, but the quality is poor. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After the 22nd, it drops off again. The 23rd through the 30th is mostly small, weak swell (2 ft to 4 ft) with onshore winds and choppy conditions. The 28th has a small, marginal pulse and the 29th offers a clean but tiny 3 ft wave. Nothing special.
So, to cut it short: you’ve got one strong morning on Wednesday the 22nd of July. Tap that. The rest of the month is a washout.
