The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for North Pier.
First off, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’re not seeing any real standouts. The swell is small and weak, and the wind is all over the place. You’ll be waiting a long time for anything decent.
The first real chance to even look at the water won’t come until Monday, August 3rd. Even then, it’s not great. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the south, but with a short period of 6 seconds and a moderate cross-shore wind, it’s going to be messy. The combined wave energy is weak (149). The afternoon sees a bit more size at 5 ft from the S, but the wind is still not ideal.
Tuesday, August 4th, morning has a clean-looking 3 ft S swell with a light onshore breeze from the east. The energy is still low (124). The afternoon drops off. It’s all pretty weak.
The rest of the first week is a washout. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is mostly cross-off which is okay, but there’s just no power. The water temperature is sitting at 70°F, which is about 1°F cooler than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch on the cool side.
The second week is even quieter. There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Monday, August 10th, with a 2 ft S swell and a light offshore wind from the west in the morning. It’ll be clean, but the energy is only 29 – that’s barely a ripple. By the afternoon, it’s gone.
Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, you’re better off waiting for a better forecast. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a few days, like Monday the 3rd with that 5 ft S swell and moderate wind, but for a traditional surf, it’s a no-go.
So, the short of it: there’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations, and the whole 16-day window is a write-off for North Pier. It happens. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save your energy.
