Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for the Navarro Rivermouth. We’re looking at a long, dry spell right from the get-go. For the first week and a half, from Tuesday the 7th through to Monday the 21st of July, it’s pretty much a write-off. The wind is stuck in that cross-onshore groove, and it’s just chewing up the swell. A lot of that time, the wave energy is weak to moderate (under 1000), and the surf is choppy and poor. You’ll see some size pop up, with waves hitting 6 ft to 10 ft, but it’s all junky and blown out. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, the one real standout in this whole 16-day forecast shows up on Friday the 17th of July, in the afternoon. The swell is predicted to be a solid 12 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy jumps up to 2179, which is strong. But here’s the catch – it’s likely going to be way too big for this rivermouth. The wind is still a moderate cross-onshore. This is one for the experts only, and even then, the conditions are going to be a full-on battle. There’s a little window around Sunday the 19th of July where the wind lightens up a touch, with a 7 ft NW swell at 9 seconds, but it’s still marginal.
Honestly, for most of this run, the conditions are so poor and choppy that the swell and wind setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. Hold tight, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, and the forecasts can always change. But right now, there is nothing to rush out for.
