The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a real quiet stretch ahead for this spot. Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s practically a flat spell. There’s nothing rideable until the very end of the month, so if you’re itching to get wet, you might want to take up fishing or just enjoy the sun.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on Monday, 27 July, at Nahr Brahim. Even then, it’s a super marginal call. We’ll see a tiny pulse of swell coming in from the west at around 4ft, with a period of 8 seconds – that’s a short and weak little groundswell, with combined energy of 173 (moderate). The wind is onshore from the WSW at 6 mph, which is light, but it’s still onshore, so expect it to be a bit bumpy. The water temp is 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is really only for the most desperate of beginners, and even then, it’s a gamble.
The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for surfing. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, the swell stays tiny, and the period is short. On Monday afternoon, 27 July, the swell drops to 3ft, still with a short period. By Tuesday, 28 July, we’re back to knee-high mush. Honestly, the conditions are so poor and the swell so weak that it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially on days with moderate cross-onshore winds and a bit of chop.
So, the bottom line: there’s one truly poor option on the 27th, and nothing else. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the swell just doesn’t show. Don’t hold your breath, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.
