Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s happening over the next couple of weeks. It’s mostly quiet, so patience is the name of the game.
The best bet is right at the start. On Friday, July 3rd, we’ve got a clean 4ft swell out of the west with a 10-second period, giving moderate energy (333). A light offshore wind from the southwest is keeping things glassy, so the waves should have clean faces. Water temp is 63°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not bad at all. The place to be is Mother Ivey s Spot M, a sheltered spot that really needs that west swell to fire up. It can draw a crowd sometimes, but with these clean conditions, it’ll be worth an early session on Friday morning. The afternoon gets messier as the wind picks up.
Saturday, July 4th has waves around 4ft to 4ft with cross-off winds, so rideable but not as clean. Sunday, July 5th drops off to around 3ft with cross-shore breezes and energy falling to 166. After that, things slow right down.
From Monday, July 6th through Monday, July 13th, we’ve got a real gap. Swells are tiny – mostly 2ft to 3ft – with low energy numbers, often under 100. Winds change direction every day but the swell just isn’t there. Nothing worth chasing.
There’s a small uptick on Tuesday, July 14th with 2ft and glassy conditions in the morning, but energy is still weak (118). The afternoon improves slightly to 3ft with a clean cross-off breeze and energy of 127, but it’s still very ordinary.
Wednesday, July 15th bumps to 4ft with a 9-second period and moderate energy of 207. That’s a better size, but the wind goes cross-shore and ripples the surface, so not the cleanest. It drops again on Thursday.
Friday, July 17th brings a pulse: 4ft swell from the west with a 10-second period and energy of 306. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so expect chop and bumpy faces.
The biggest swell of the period hits Saturday, July 18th – 7ft from the west-northwest with a short 8-second period. Energy jumps to a strong 589, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 25 mph. That’s a lumpy, choppy mess and only for experienced surfers. For a beach setup like this, those conditions look more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
So, unless you’re getting out early on Friday, July 3rd, it’s slim pickings. The second week has a few pulses but the wind spoils them. Keep an eye out but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
