The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and to be honest, the first week and a half is looking pretty flat. We’re talking about a real quiet spell from Monday the 27th of July all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. During that period, the swell is barely a whisper, with combined wave energy struggling to get past a weak 32. It’s not going to be worth paddling out for.
The first real flicker of life shows up on the afternoon of Monday the 3rd of August. The swell picks up slightly to 3ft from the SE with a short, weak period of 4 seconds and the combined energy climbs to 55. It’s still a poor surf condition though, with a light cross-onshore wind, so it’s not going to be pretty. Definitely not a standout.
The best of the bunch, and the only true standout I can see, is the morning of Thursday the 5th of August. Conditions are set to be glassy with a light offshore breeze. The swell is small at 2ft from the E with a period of 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be big, but that clean, smooth surface will make the most of what little energy we have. The combined energy is a weak 28, so you’ll be scratching for waves, but at least you’ll be scratching in perfect conditions.
Another glassy morning to keep an eye on is Sunday the 9th of August. The swell is even smaller at 2ft from the E, period 7 seconds, and combined energy of 33. It’s the same story – small, clean, and likely to be a bit of a wait for a set.
Overall, mate, it’s a lean period. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t expect bathwater. There’s no big swell on the horizon, just a long run of flat days punctuated by a few clean, tiny windows. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings of the 5th and 9th of August are your best bet, but keep the expectations low.
Rusty.
