The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at North Pier over the next couple weeks.
Straight up – it’s a quiet spell. There's nothing worth paddling out for in the first few days and this lean stretch hangs around for a good week, almost to the end of July. The water temp is sitting at 69.1°F which is just about normal for this time of year, nothing wild there.
From Saturday 25 July through to Thursday 30 July, it’s all tiny, weak and messy. Wave heights barely scrape 1.3ft to 2.3ft, periods are short (5-8 seconds), and the combined swell energy is weak, mostly hanging between 18 and 68 – just no push. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s choppy and sloppy. Monday 27 July morning actually goes glassy, but with only 1.3ft of 7-second swell and energy at 15, there’s just nothing to ride. Even the clean afternoons on Monday and Tuesday don’t help because the swell is too small.
Friday 31 July afternoon is the first time we see a flicker – 2.6ft from the south, 8-second period, and combined energy finally bumps up to 121 (moderate). Winds are cross-offshore and clean, so it’s not a total write-off. But it’s still very ordinary – a tiny, weak wave that’s barely surfable. The rest of the first week of August stays stubbornly small: mostly 1.6ft to 2.6ft, short period swells (6-8 seconds), and energy mostly under 80. That Saturday morning 8 August has a brief window of offshore wind (WSW 9 mph) but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft and energy is just 6 – not even a ripple worth mentioning.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The only day that’s even *close* to being worth a look is Friday 31 July afternoon, because it’s the biggest and cleanest combo in the whole run. But even then, it’s tiny and the quality is poor. If you’re desperate for a paddle and just want to sit out there, that’s your window, but don’t expect any proper waves. For the rest of the 16-day window, it’s a long, flat, frustrating stretch at North Pier.
