The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s headed our way over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty bleak stretch right now. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the opening days are a write-off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until we get to the tail end of the first week. The good news? Once we get there, things pick up, but you’ll need to be patient.
The first real chance of a surf comes on Friday, August 7th, at Newcombs Hollow. The morning brings a small bump of 3 ft from the S, with a combined energy of just 47 (weak). The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph, which will keep things clean, but the swell is small and short period (5 sec). It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the first sign of life. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Now, the real standout is Friday, August 14th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon at Newcombs Hollow sees a jump in size to 6 ft from the NNE, with a combined energy of 233 (moderate). The swell direction is NE, and the optimum swell direction for this spot is NE as well, so it’s a perfect match. The period is short at 6 sec, so it won’t have the grunt of a groundswell, but the size and direction are promising. The wind is a cross-onshore from the NE at 19 mph, which is a bit of a bummer – it’s going to be lumpy and fresh. That’s fresh cross-onshore, lumpy conditions. It’s not perfect, but it’s the most size and energy we’ve seen in the whole forecast. The swell is over 5 ft, so it’s probably too much for beginners. For the experienced crew, it’s the best we’ve got.
There’s a long gap of flat, poor conditions from now all the way through to the 7th. The 14th is the one to aim for, but keep in mind it’s a week and a half out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. The spot is consistent, so if the forecast holds, it should be breaking.
Rusty.
