Alright folks, Rusty here with a long look at what’s on the cards for Norman Bay.
Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, things are grim. There’s a gap of three days from now with no surf worth paddling out for. We’re looking at some serious, powerful swell (combined energy up to 4249), but it’s getting smashed by howling near-gale cross-onshore winds and blown-out conditions. The water temp isn't mentioned here, so I can't call it unusual, but let’s just say you don’t want to be out in that.
Things start to clean up towards the end of the week. By Friday, July 17th afternoon, the wind goes glassy, and we get a clean 4ft swell from the SW with a long period of 16 seconds. It’s only a small swell, with moderate wave energy (644), and it’s a long-period groundswell that can break a bit straight at a beach. But for a beginner spot like Norman Bay, that glassy, clean surface is a major positive – that’s your first real look-in.
The standouts, though, come in the last week. Hold out for Thursday, July 23rd afternoon. We see a jump in size to 6ft from the W, with a very short, crumbly period of 8 seconds. The wind is light cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The wave energy is moderate (522), and with light, clean conditions, that’s a nice little window to be out.
But if you want the real prize, circle Monday, July 27th. The morning session is the absolute best on offer. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the W, a 9-second period, and light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, keeping it clean. The combined energy is strong (784). At over 8ft, this would be expert territory, but at 7ft, it's punchy but doable for experienced beginners with their wits about them. It’s a long shot this far out, so treat it as a promising potential, but if it holds, get on it. The afternoon swings onshore and gets messy, so it’s a morning mission only.
Other than that, the week between is a mix of small, messy onshore slop and some clean but tiny days. The 27th morning is the one to keep an eye on.
