The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for this stretch.
It’s a slow start, no doubt. From the 25th of July right through to the end of the month, Newdicks Beach is flat. We’re talking a few days of 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves, and nothing worth paddling out for. There’s a gap of about six days with no real surf to speak of. You’re better off waxing the board and waiting.
Saturday 1st August – The first real chance. The morning session is the pick of the entire outlook. Swell runs about 3-4ft from the north, with moderate energy (240). The wind is glassy out of the SSE, so the surface will be smooth as butter. Water temperature is around 57°, which is about 1° cooler than average for this time of year – a little nippy, but nothing crazy. The break is a beach and reef setup, but it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute. North swell with glassy conditions – that’s a great combo for a beginner-friendly spot. Crowds are possible, so get there early.
Monday 3rd August – Another good option. The morning has clean offshore winds from the SW, with 4ft north swell. The energy is moderate (174). The afternoon picks up a bit, with 5ft from the NNE and a cross-off breeze from the WSW, keeping things clean. This is the biggest swell of the run, but it’s still manageable for most. A bit more consistent than the weekend, and the wind is on your side.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. From Tuesday the 4th onward, we’re looking at 2-3ft waves, with weak energy. The 6th has a glassy morning with 2ft from the NE, but it’s pretty ordinary. The 7th and 8th are even smaller, with wind picking up and the ocean turning choppy. Nothing to write home about.
So, the standout is Saturday 1st August morning – glassy, clean, waist-to-chest high north swell, and the best chance of a fun, uncrowded session. The Monday 3rd is a close second, with a little more size but still clean. After that, it’s back to waiting for the next swell.
Rusty.
