The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve just had a good look at what’s coming up. The outlook is a quiet, drawn-out affair with a couple of real standouts to look forward to. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 63°F, which is a nice little bonus.
First up, the action kicks off on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, at Moruya Rivermouth. We’re looking at a clean 3ft swell from the ENE with a period of 10 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the WNW. The energy is solid and moderate (215). It’s a good, clean start for a beginner-friendly wave, but the swell direction is a bit cross to the optimum, so it’s not the best of the bunch. In the afternoon, it goes glassy with a light S wind, dropping to 3ft, but it’s pretty ordinary.
Thursday the 23rd has a clean 2ft on the morning with a light W offshore, but it’s small. Friday the 24th brings a tiny 1ft with a long period of 12 seconds from the SSE offshore in the morning, but again, it’s very small. The weekend stays small and ordinary, with a glassy 3ft on Sunday morning, the 26th, but nothing to write home about.
There’s a long gap of very small, poor surf from the 28th of July through to the 1st of August. The 30th of July sees a bump of 5ft from the ESE with a short 7-second period, but it’s onshore and messy, with moderate energy (264). Not worth it.
Now, the first real standout comes on Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. It’s a clean 3ft from the ENE with a 7-second period, offshore from the W, and energy is moderate (171). It’s small, but clean and fun for a beginner-friendly spot.
But the real highlight is Monday morning, the 3rd of August. You get a glassy, clean 3ft swell from the SE with a long 14-second period, building energy (318). That’s a proper groundswell window, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be smooth and clean. This is the best on offer for the whole period – a real standout for a quiet session.
Then things get wild. Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, shows a massive 15ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period, offshore wind from the NNW, and insane energy (5849). This is expert-only territory, well over 8ft, and it’s too big for this spot. Wednesday and Thursday are the same story – huge, powerful swells, clean but only for the very experienced. The energy is through the roof (up to 7559), so this is big, dangerous surf. Not for the faint-hearted.
So, to wrap it up: the best bet for a clean, fun surf is Monday morning, the 3rd of August, with that glassy, long-period groundswell. The big stuff from the 4th to the 6th is for experts only. Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
