The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks. It's Rusty here.
Honestly, I'm looking at this 16-day stretch and it's a tough one for the lineup. The forecast is pretty much a long run of "poor surf conditions." We're looking at a solid gap here, with no real surf to recommend for the entire period. The first few days, from Sunday the 19th right through, it's just a mess of onshore wind and lumpy, choppy waves. The wind is howling from the NNW and NW, and it's just all over the shop. You'll get a bit of swell, like Sunday morning with 5 ft of NW swell, but the 19 mph cross-on wind just ruins it. The energy is reading a weak 325, and it's just not worth paddling out for.
The whole first week is a write-off, mate. The wind doesn't let up, and even when we get a bit of size, like Wednesday the 22nd with 7 ft to 7 ft of NW swell, the wind is a brutal 28-31 mph onshore. That's not surf, that's survival. The wave energy in that period hits 587, but with the wind state being "unknown" and "poor surf conditions" flagged, it's a hard pass. This set-up, with that much wind and poor quality, is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There's a little flicker of hope around Sunday the 26th with some cleaner, glassy conditions as the wind goes light and cross-off from the ESE, but the swell is tiny, barely 2 ft, with a combined energy of just 37. It's a flat spell with a clean face.
We see a bit more activity from the 28th, but again, the wind comes back onshore. The end of the month and into August is just more of the same: onshore winds, rain, and disappearing swell. The last few days have a tiny 0.3 ft of long-period swell (11 seconds) on the 1st of August, but it's accompanied by fresh to strong winds, so it's a no-go. The whole 16 days is a blank run, and unfortunately, this is a bit more normal for the area when the setup is as exposed to the westerly winds as it is. Take a break, lads. The forecast can change, but right now, I wouldn't bother.
Rusty.
