The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’re kicking off the outlook with a bit of a flat spell, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. The first few days are a write-off for anything decent. We’ll see the first real hope for a wave on the morning of Thursday, 30th July, but it’s a weak start.
The standout session for the beginner-friendly Moruya Rivermouth is shaping up to be Sunday, 2nd August. The morning is a bit average with a messy cross-offshore breeze, but get ready for the afternoon. That’s the pick of the week. You’ve got a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the SE with a lovely long period of 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The wind will be light and offshore from the west, making it glassy. The combined wave energy is moderate (394), so it’s not a beast, but it’ll be clean, fun, and forgiving. Just a heads-up, this spot is a rivermouth, so that long-period energy can sometimes stand up a bit too straight, but for a beginner wave, it’s a winner.
Right now, the water is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than we’d normally expect for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
Looking further ahead into the second week, there’s some promise. The morning of Thursday, 6th August looks really good if you can get out. Clean 6 ft surf from the ESE with a light offshore breeze. The energy is strong (583), and the conditions are glassy. That’s a solid morning session.
Then, on Tuesday, 11th August, we’ve got another good morning. A 7 ft ENE swell with a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is pumping (701), but at that size, it’s starting to get a bit too big for the absolute beginners. For the more experienced crew, it’ll be a ripper.
The best of the long-range stuff looks to be Wednesday, 12th August. The morning has a clean 5 ft ENE swell with a long period of 12 seconds and a nice cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong (647). It’s a proper groundswell, and the Rivermouth should handle that period well. It’s a bit further out, so it’s not a lock, but it’s got all the signs of a belter.
Overall, it’s a slow start, but the second week has some tidy windows. The standout is that Sunday afternoon session on the 2nd of August for the learners, and the 12th of August for the crew who want a bit more push.
Rusty.
