New Brighton Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for New Brighton Beach.

Right off the bat, this is a pretty quiet outlook. The next few days are small, but there are a couple of windows worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 51°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year.

The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Monday, July 20th. The morning session is the standout for the whole first week. We’ve got a clean 2ft wave from the SSE, but it’s riding on a very long 19-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and combined with the moderate wave energy (371) it’ll have some push. The wind is offshore and light from the W at 3 mph, so it’s going to be glassy. Keep in mind that for a beach break like this, that long period might make it a bit straight, but with offshore winds, it’ll still be fun. The afternoon turns onshore, so don’t sleep in.

Tuesday, July 21st drops off fast. The morning is glassy but tiny, with only 1ft from the SE and very low energy (75). It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.

From Wednesday, July 22nd through to the end of the month, it’s a real mixed bag of tiny waves, poor conditions, and strong winds. The swell is just not there. There’s a brief moment on Sunday, July 26th morning with a moderate offshore wind and 2ft from the E, but the energy is still low (142) and it’s rainy. Nothing to get excited about.

The next proper highlight doesn’t come until Wednesday, July 29th. The afternoon finally looks good again. We’ve got a clean 3ft wave from the ESE with a solid 13-second period and moderate to strong energy (296). The wind is light offshore from the SW at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. This is the best looking session of the entire second week. The morning of that day is also clean, but with a bit more wind and a slightly bigger energy reading (396), so if you can get out early, you might score a bigger, cleaner wave.

After that, it’s back to tiny, ordinary conditions for the first few days of August. The very last blip shows Tuesday, August 4th morning with a 2ft wave from the E, but it’s a short-period 7-second swell and the wind is clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

All in all, the best bets are Monday morning, July 20th and Wednesday afternoon, July 29th. They’re the only ones that really stand out with some decent energy and clean conditions. The rest of the window is quiet, so pick your sessions carefully.
