The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for this stretch of coast. We’ve got one spot that’s the main event, and it’s a proper reef and point setup that needs a bit of respect.
First thing you’ll notice is the water temp is sitting at 79.7°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The action kicks off on Tuesday the 21st of July, but it’s a bit of a slow burn. The swell is coming in at 5.2ft from the SSW with a solid 14-second period, giving it some real push. The combined energy is strong at 1171, so there’s plenty of power in the water. The wind is howling out of the SE at 18.6 mph, but it’s offshore, so the faces will be clean. The call is marginal surf, so it’s not the pick of the window, but it’s rideable for the crew who know what they’re doing.
Wednesday and Thursday are smaller, with heights dropping to 3.3ft to 3.9ft, still with that clean offshore wind. The energy drops off a bit too, down to the 700-800 range. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for your waves.
Now, Friday the 24th of July is interesting. The swell drops to 2.6ft, but the period stretches out to 17 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell. The energy is moderate at 814. For a reef and point like this, those long lines can be magic, but it’s small, so you’ll need a longboard or a fish.
The first real standout window starts to build around Saturday the 2nd of August. Through the weekend and into the following week, we’re looking at some serious SSW swell. Saturday morning the 2nd hits 7.9ft with a 16-second period, and the energy is huge at 2809. That is a lot of water moving. The wind is a moderate offshore breeze, so it’s going to be clean. The catch is that 7.9ft is getting into expert-only territory, especially on a reef. This is not a day for beginners.
The best of the best, the true standout, is looking like Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning session has 7.2ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds, with a clean offshore wind from the ESE at 15.5 mph. The energy is a massive 2679. The afternoon cleans up even more with a lighter 12.4 mph offshore breeze. The forecast calls for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The long period means the sets will have a bit of a wait between them, but when they come, they’ll be powerful and well-shaped on this point. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so expect a few other keen locals out for that one.
The week before that, from the 28th of July to the 1st of August, there’s a steady run of 3.3ft to 4.9ft SSW swell with consistent offshore winds. The energy is strong, climbing from 842 up to 1766. It’s good, consistent surfing, but the big dog is that Wednesday.
So, to sum it up: the early part of the run is small and clean, but you’ll be scratching around. The real magic, the one you don’t want to miss, is the 2nd to the 5th of August. Lock in Wednesday the 5th for the best chance of a proper session.
