The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let's get into it. Rusty here. It's a pretty quiet start to the outlook for our spot.
Looks like we're in for a bit of a dry spell. We've got a block of several days coming up with nothing worth paddling out for. The waves are too small, the wind is messy, or both. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Sunday, July 26th.
We finally get a pulse of energy on the 26th, around midday. The swell is coming from the west at about 3ft with a period of 9 seconds. The key here is the wind is light offshore from the south-southwest, cleaning things up nicely. The water is a balmy 66° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wettie at home. The energy is moderate (168), so it's not a huge day but it's a start. This is about as good as it gets for a while. The waves are surfable, but the conditions are only ordinary.
Now, the Monday after that, July 27th, sees the swell size jump up. We're looking at 7ft from the west, but with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is strong cross-offshore from the south, which keeps the faces clean, but that wind is fresh. It's not beginner-friendly at that size. The energy is strong (581). This is a bigger, more powerful day, but it's a bit of a beast.
Then Tuesday, July 28th, is the standout. The swell is 6ft from the west, period 10 seconds. The wind is fresh offshore from the southwest, giving us clean, lined-up waves. The energy is very strong (696). The size is still in the expert zone, but the quality should be there for those who are game. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, so you might still get a bit of company.
The whole two-week window is a tough one. The water is much warmer than normal, which is a nice bonus. But for the first 12 days, it's a write-off. The 27th and 28th offer the best hope, but they are for the experienced crew. After that, the swell drops back down again.
If you're looking for a paddle, Sunday the 26th is your best bet for a smaller, clean session, but the real juice is on the 28th if you've got the skills.
Rusty, signing off.
