The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the run of surf coming up for the Prom.
Well, I gotta be straight with you, this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's really nothing to get excited about. The conditions are just awful for the most part. We've got a few little windows where the swell is surfable, but the wind is almost always a problem, making it messy and choppy. It's a real shame because there's some decent energy in the water at times, but the wind just ruins it.
Your first real chance is on Sunday, July 19th. Norman Bay will have a clean, glassy afternoon. Swell is a modest 2ft out of the WSW with a period of 12 seconds (moderate wave energy of 152). The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year. It's small and clean, but it's not going to be a world-beater. It's a beginner-friendly wave, so it's a good session for a learner or someone just wanting to get wet in the cleanest conditions we'll see.
After that, it's a write-off. We're looking at a solid 8-day gap with no recommendations. The wind kicks in from Monday, July 20th and it just doesn't let up. The swell actually gets bigger, with a big pulse of 7ft to 8ft coming through from the 23rd to the 25th, with very strong wave energy (1922 to 1702). But with near-gale force winds, it's a complete mess. That's more of a kite-surfing scenario than a paddle one.
Towards the end of the run, things get a bit smaller again. On Monday, July 27th, the afternoon session cleans up again with glassy conditions. Swell is tiny at 2ft from the WSW, period of 10 seconds, and low energy (114). It's surfable but very ordinary. The best of the small stuff might be the morning of August 3rd, with a 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds (372 energy). That's a nice long period, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore making it choppy. It's a long way out, so don't bank on it.
So, honestly, the standout by a mile is that Sunday afternoon, the 19th. It's the only time the stars align for a clean, glassy session, even if it's small. Everything else is a battle with the wind. Keep your eyes on the sky, but for now, I'd be looking at other options.
Rusty.
