The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's just get this out of the way: the surf forecast is a total bust. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to the 13th of August, every single session is called poor. That's a full two-week stretch with no real waves to speak of. The wind is a stubborn cross-onshore from the WSW, putting a chop on the surface every day. The swell is tiny, never topping 3 ft, and the combined energy is weak, only hitting 433 at its best on the 29th, but it's still poor quality. The water is a balmy 71°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal – very unusual, but it won't save this mess.
Let's break it down. Wednesday the 29th has a 2 ft SSE groundswell (16-second period), but the cross-on wind makes it choppy. Thursday the 30th morning has a light offshore wind from the SW, but the swell drops to 2 ft and the energy fades to 336. The rest of the week merges into a blur of tiny 1 ft to 3 ft swell and cross-on wind. The period drops to 9 seconds on the 1st of August, a short, weak windswell that's not worth a second look.
Into the second week of August, it gets even smaller. From the 3rd onward, swell heights barely touch 2 ft, and the combined energy plunges into the double digits and low 100s (77 on the 3rd, 45 on the 6th). There's a whisper of a 20-second period groundswell on the 6th, but it's only 0.7 ft – a ghost. The wind never quits, all cross-on or onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave at New Jetty/South Jetty. This spot is fairly exposed to a WSW swell, but what's coming in is too small and too junky. For a beginner, even the 1 ft days are a lost cause with the wind. For anyone else, it's a hard pass. The setup is a beach-and-reef, but with this wind and tiny swell, it's looking more like a kite-surfing breeze than a paddle-surfing wave. Don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
