The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for our little corner of the coastline.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell. From now through the end of July, the swell is tiny and mostly onshore, giving us nothing but poor surf conditions. You’d be wasting your gas. Around midweek next week, a little pulse of energy pops up on the 28th of July, but even then the conditions are messy with cross-off winds and a short period swell. Not worth getting excited about.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s a couple weeks out. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning is still ordinary with a 5ft S swell and clean cross-off wind, giving us moderate energy (270). But it’s the Monday afternoon that’s the standout of the whole outlook. We get a jump to 6ft S swell (481), which is a solid bump in energy, and with glassy conditions from a light WNW breeze, that’s a rare treat. That size is pushing into intermediate territory but still manageable for the experienced crew. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit walled-up and not as lined-up as we'd like, but at least it's clean. For the beginning of the week, that Monday afternoon is the best we’ve got all forecast. Tuesday the 4th of August drops back down pretty quick with a 4ft S swell but cross-onshore winds messing it up in the morning.
For the rest of the second week, it’s back to the same old story – small, short period swell and clean-ish winds, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing. There’s a few 3ft to 3ft days with decent winds, but it's just not enough to make a proper session of it.
As for the water temp, it's sitting at 69°, which is about what we’d expect for this time of year.
I’d mark your calendar for the afternoon of Monday, August the 3rd. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the only real window with a decent swell and glass.
Let’s be honest, this is a rough couple of weeks. Bring a kite if you’ve got one – with a southerly swell and onshore breezes at some of these beach setups, there might be more for the kite surfers than us paddle guys for most of it.
Rusty.
