The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Moruya Rivermouth (Moruya).
Alright, right off the bat, don’t get your hopes up for the next week or so. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead. The first real chance of a wave is Thursday the 30th of July, but that’s a big one – and it’s way too big for this spot. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a little bonus.
Let’s break it down. From now through to the end of July, the surf is tiny and mostly messy. Wednesday the 23rd morning has a clean 2 ft from the ENE with a light offshore, but it’s weak – combined energy of only 82 – and just ordinary. Friday the 25th morning gives a little bump to 3 ft from the SSE, clean again with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still pretty average. The 26th and 27th offer similar small, clean windows but nothing to get excited about. Then from the 28th, it drops right off to nothing.
Now, Thursday the 30th of July morning is a different story – but not a good one for the Rivermouth. The swell pumps up to 12 ft from the S, with a combined energy of 3865, which is very strong. That’s way too big for this break, and the wind is a strong cross-off from the SSW. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The afternoon on the 30th remains big at 8 ft, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not clean.
The swell drops through the 31st, but it’s still big and messy. Then on Saturday the 1st of August morning, we finally get a decent window. The swell is 5 ft from the SE, with a light offshore from the WSW and clean conditions. It’s a solid, surfable wave with moderate energy (330). That’s probably the standout in this whole run – the best on offer. The break is a river mouth, so that long period (9 seconds) is fine, and it’s fairly consistent. Crowds are possible here sometimes.
After that, it fades again. Sunday the 2nd has small 3 ft surf, and the rest of the week into August is tiny, with occasional 1 ft to 3 ft waves that are either ordinary or poor. The 7th of August has a little 3 ft from the ESE, but the wind is onshore and choppy.
So, if you’re hanging for a wave, your best bet is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. That’s a solid, clean session. The big swell on the 30th is a miss for this spot. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
