The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at a pretty grim stretch here at the North Jetty. For the next couple of weeks, it’s going to be a real test of patience. The water’s sitting at 56°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least the temperature’s not a shock.
The best bet in this whole 16-day window, if you can call it that, is gonna be this Friday afternoon. We’ve got a 0.9m swell coming from the SW with a 24-second period. That’s a long period groundswell, and it’s pushing a decent amount of energy (1096). The wind is a light onshore breeze at 6 mph out of the NW, which is going to keep things clean. It’s a small window, but it’s the only real chance to get a few clean ones. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a lean spell.
After that, Saturday morning is the next faint hope. On Saturday the 25th, we’ll see a 1.1m SW swell with a 21-second period, and the wind is a light cross-onshore at 3 mph. The energy is solid (1268), but that wind won’t help. It’ll be surfable, but don’t expect perfection.
Then things drop off. The rest of the forecast is a mess of cross-onshore winds and short-period slop. From Sunday the 26th all the way through to the 8th of August, there’s a frustrating gap. We see a lot of 0 to 1 ratings, with poor surf conditions and choppy winds. For a few days around the 31st of July and into early August, the swell actually gets bigger—hitting 2.5m and even 3.0m on the 8th of August. But the wind is straight onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short for most of it. That’s just a big, lumpy whitewash. For the more experienced heads, the 3.0m NW swell on Saturday the 8th of August might have some size, but it’s only for experts and the wind is going to be a factor. The energy is definitely there (1414 and 1429), but the quality won’t be.
The long-run stuff on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of August shows some promise with size, but it’s a long way out and the wind is still a concern. For now, keep your expectations low and your eyes on the forecast.
Rusty.
