The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it's a tough stretch ahead for our local spot, Newcombs Hollow. We're looking at a long, lean run with hardly anything to get excited about for the next couple of weeks. This is more of a blank run for the area, unfortunately.
Starting off, the first session we can even talk about is on Friday, July 31st. The afternoon shows a little glimmer of hope with a glassy, clean surface as the wind swings light and variable from the WSW at just 3 mph. The swell is tiny though, at only 2 ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (69), so it's more about the clean conditions than any real power. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
Moving into Saturday, August 1st, the morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is even smaller at 2 ft, and the energy is next to nothing (43). By the afternoon, it's practically flat with just 0.3 ft of junk. The rest of the first week into the second is a write-off. We've got a solid block of poor surf and generally messy conditions through to the end of the first week, with nothing worth paddling out for.
There's a notable gap from the end of July right through to the second week of August. The forecast doesn't offer any real recommendations until the end of the 16-day window. For instance, on Monday, August 11th, we see a bit more swell—2 ft from the SE with a period of 12 seconds—but it's coming from the wrong direction with onshore winds from the E at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (134), but the conditions are unknown and likely poor. The swell is too short and onshore.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the Thursday on August 14th. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the E with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (241). But again, the wind is cross-onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, which is going to mess up the surface. It's a consistent break, but it's not going to be pretty. For a beginner, the swell is under 5 ft, so it's not too big, but the wind is a killer.
So, bottom line: save your energy. The water is about average for this time of year, but the surf is just not cooperating. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long stretch of flat to poor conditions. I'd check back in a few days.
Rusty.
