Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us at the Navarro Rivermouth over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast run is a tough one. There’s no good surf on offer for a long stretch here. We’ve got a solid run of poor conditions that kicks off right now and drags on for over a week. The first hint of anything worth looking at doesn’t show up until Wednesday, July 15th, and even then it’s just marginal.
The core problem is the wind. Almost every morning and afternoon through the first week and a half has a cross-onshore breeze. It’s not howling, but it’s persistent, and it’s messing up what could be some decent swell. The river mouth setup really needs cleaner conditions to hold its shape.
The first real surf size kicks in around Thursday, July 9th, with a 10ft NW swell rolling in, but it’s blown out by a moderate cross-onshore wind, making it a messy affair. Combined wave energy at that point is strong (1136), which shows there’s power, but it’s not rideable for a paddle. Honestly, with those numbers and the wind direction, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temp is sitting at 51° with a -4° anomaly, meaning it’s much colder than normal for this time of year – keep the thick rubber handy if you’re even thinking about it.
The only window that has a glimmer of hope is Wednesday, July 15th. On the morning, we get an 8ft NW swell with a light westerly wind blowing onshore, but for here, that’s the cleanest wind we’ve seen in days. The combined energy is very strong (1510), and the period is a solid 9 seconds. It’s still a marginal call, and the break is inconsistent at the best of times, but if there’s a session this fortnight, that’s your best bet. After that, the swell drops off fast heading into the second weekend, with long-period WNW groundswell (15-17 seconds) coming in, but those long-period swells tend to run straight at beachy river mouths, and the cross-onshore wind sticks around, so it’s not going to deliver.
Stick with it though – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
