The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up.
Honestly, mate, this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bust for any decent surf at North Pier. There's just nothing doing. The forecast is a real bummer – it's all day after day of weak, small, and poor surf conditions. The waves are tiny and the energy is barely a whisper, with readings down in the double digits (like 109 and 108 in the first few days) and then just dropping off into single digits later on. We're talking about swell heights that barely tickle the 3 ft mark, and most of the time it's much smaller than that, with short periods and poor quality.
The bright side? Well, there isn't one for surf. The consistency is poor, and the blank run here is pretty much normal for the area when it goes this flat. The wind does go clean or even offshore a few times, like on the morning of Tuesday, August 4th with light offshores, and there's a glassy morning on Saturday, August 8th. But with no swell to push, those are just beautiful flat days. It's more of a "look at the horizon and sigh" kind of forecast.
Forget the board. Head to the beach for a swim or a kayak. There's simply no surf to recommend. This setup would be more interesting for a kite surfer with that cross-off and onshore wind on the bigger afternoons, but for paddle surfing? It’s a no-go.
Stay patient, the ocean will wake up eventually.
Rusty.
