The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The next two weeks are pretty flat. The first surfable waves don’t show up until Friday the 7th, and they’re nothing special. The one glassy moment comes on Thursday the 14th, but it’s tiny.
The best call is Ocean Lane Deal (breakwater). Friday morning, August 7th is your pick. You’ve got a clean, light offshore breeze from the WSW at 6 mph, with a small 3 ft swell coming from the S. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit crumbly, but the combined energy is a weak 134 – enough for a few rides. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 76°, so about a degree above average.
Friday afternoon, August 7th is also worth a look. Wind drops to a glassy 3 mph, still cross-off, swell stays at 3 ft from the S. The energy drops to 72, but it’ll be clean and small.
Saturday morning, August 8th is similar: 3 ft from the SSW, clean with a 9 mph cross-off. Not a standout, but surfable.
Sunday morning, August 9th has a proper offshore from the WNW at 9 mph, with a 3 ft S swell. That’s as good as it gets for the week. The waves will be clean and lined up, but still small.
After that, it fades. Monday, August 17th sees a bigger pulse of swell – 5 ft from the S, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms, onshore wind, and the energy jumps to 406 (strong). That’s a messy one, probably better for kites than paddles.
The surf is small and inconsistent for most of the run. For beginners, the 2 ft to 3 ft swell on clean days is fine, but nothing gets over 5 ft until the 17th, and that’s a mess. For experts, there’s nothing to get excited about until the second week, and even then it’s poor.
So, the best window is Friday 7th through Sunday 9th – small, clean, and very ordinary. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s it. The rest is a write-off.
Rusty.
