The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's coming up for Newdicks Beach.
Honestly, for the first week and a bit, it's a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a real dry spell until Tuesday the 11th of August. The swell's tiny, barely a ripple for days, with heights mostly sitting around 0.3ft to 0.7ft. The water temp is 58°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. The wind is often offshore or glassy, but with no waves to speak of, it's just a pretty lake.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. That's when we finally get a pulse of energy. The combined energy jumps right up to a solid 969, which is a moderate push. The swell is coming from the NNW at 7ft, with an 8-second period. It's going to be glassy, with a slight air from the south keeping it clean. That 7ft is getting up there, a bit much for a total beginner, but for the rest of us, that’s a proper session. It won't be a long-period groundswell, just a solid, punchy windswell, but on a beach and reef setup like Newdicks, that'll be fun. Keep in mind it's inconsistent here, so don't expect set after set.
After that Tuesday morning high, the surf drops back off pretty quick. The afternoon goes to a 5ft onshore mess, and then we're into rain and messy onshore winds for the rest of the week. There’s a big spike on Friday the 14th of August with a 10ft swell from the north, but it's got a 19 mph onshore wind and rain, so that's a washing machine. Only for the brave, or the kite surfers. The energy is huge at 1725, but the quality just isn't there.
So, to sum it up: it's a long wait, but that Tuesday the 11th of August morning is your window. Get on it while the getting's good.
