The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Navarro Rivermouth stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a tough run. We've got a river break that's inconsistent at the best of times, and looking at the next two weeks, it's a real struggle. For the first nine days, from Wednesday the 22nd all the way through to Thursday the 31st of July, the wind is just a constant curse. It's a persistent cross-onshore breeze, often from the NW, which is the opposite of what this spot needs. The swell is there, but it's getting chopped up and messy before it even has a chance. Expect poor conditions across the board. The afternoon of Friday the 24th does see a spike in energy with a very clean reading, but it's a long-period 24-second swell from the SW, and with that wind, it's just not going to be surfable. You're better off forgetting it.
There's a little glimmer of hope as we move into August. The first Saturday, the 1st, brings morning surf that's marginal, maybe a tide-dependent hope, with about 8 ft of NW swell and period building to 9 seconds. Still, the cross-onshore wind ruins the party. The water temp is about 55°, which is a little below average for this time of year, nothing crazy but you'll feel it.
The only real window that gets my attention is the Monday morning of the 4th of August. The wind finally swings around to a light onshore from the WNW, and the swell drops to a more manageable 4 ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. It's still small and the energy is weak, but for a river mouth that's been hammered by wind, that's about as clean as it's gonna get. It's the best of a bad bunch.
For a break that's inconsistent and often crowded, you'd need a lot of luck and low expectations to get anything worthwhile. The conditions are just not lining up for paddle surfing. That persistent cross-shore wind and chop through the first week is more of a kite-surfing setup, to be honest. This is a long dry spell for the area.
