The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Nera Rivermouth.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag, and for the most part, it’s looking pretty grim. You’re not going to see much worth paddling out for. The first few days are a washout. Saturday the 25th through Sunday the 26th offer tiny, wonky waves with a strong cross-shore wind, and the combined energy is barely a whisper (66 on Saturday morning). Forget it. There’s a solid gap of poor surf right through to the middle of the coming week.
There is one flicker of hope, though. Monday morning, the 27th of July. That’s your standout. The swell jumps up to a solid 6ft from the SSW, with a long-period groundswell of 12 seconds, and the combined energy ramps right up to 830 – that’s proper moderate wave energy. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, which should keep the surface clean. It’s a big step up from the junk we’ve been seeing. It’s a river and beach setup, so that long-period SSW swell might wrap in nicely, but keep in mind, long-period swells can be a bit tricky on a beach break, so you’ll want to find the right bank. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might have a few friends out, but it won’t be a circus.
Tuesday morning, the 28th, is a decent follow-up – 5ft from the SSW, still a clean cross-offshore breeze, and energy at 634. It’s a solid option, but Monday morning is the real prize. After that, the wind swings around and it all goes to custard. By Wednesday morning, it’s tiny and glassy, but just 1ft, and the energy is gone (88). From then on, it’s a long stretch of cross-shore winds and lumpy, poor surf conditions all the way into early August. The wind picks up big time, with fresh to strong breezes out of the SE, making it a messy, choppy mess. Honestly, for a stretch there, it looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So, to wrap it up: if you’ve got a flexible schedule, make the call for Monday morning, the 27th of July. That’s the best shot you’ve got. For the rest of the run, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
