The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let's cut the chatter and talk about the surf. It's going to be a quiet couple of weeks. There's some small, ridable stuff to be found, but you'll have to work for it and pick the right hour. There isn't a single standout heavy day; it's all about finding clean conditions on tiny swell.
North Street is the only game in town. The water temp is 75°, which is normal for this time of year.
Forget about Tuesday, July 28th. The wind is messy and the swell is pathetic. Not worth a look.
The best chance for a session is Wednesday morning, July 29th. We've got weak 3ft swell from the southeast with a short 7 second period, and the energy is low (96). But the wind is dead glassy. That's the key. It'll be tiny, but perfectly clean. You'll get a few little peelers. The afternoon stays glassy with similar size.
Thursday, July 30th, morning sees a small 2ft southeast swell with weak energy (63), but a clean offshore wind from the northwest. It will be clean but small again.
Then it gets grim. From Friday, July 31st, all the way through to Monday, August 11th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, with very weak wave energy. The wind will be a problem for most of that time, coming from the wrong direction. There are a couple of brief clean moments on August 3rd (Monday morning, glassy, 2ft) and August 8th (clean cross-off), but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
The only pulse of more size comes later. On Tuesday afternoon, August 11th, the swell hits 4ft from the east-northeast with moderate energy (151). But the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so the waves will be a choppy, lumpy mess. Not the quality we're after.
To sum it up, your best and only real option is Wednesday morning, July 29th at North Street. The swell is only 3ft from the southeast, but the glassy conditions will give you the cleanest, most fun little waves of the entire outlook. Get on it early.
Rusty.

Information about the North Street Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for North Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at North Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our North Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (North Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for North Street may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
