The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. It’s a quiet one for Pambula Rivermouth over the next 16 days. The whole forecast is a long, flat spell with nothing to offer. The first few days are a complete washout, and the pattern doesn’t change.
Starting Friday, the 24th of July, it’s tiny. A 0.3ft swell from the SE with a very long 18-second period, but the combined wave energy is a weak 21, and it’s flat. The wind is cross-off from the WSW at 25 mph, keeping it clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The water temp is 60°, which is normal for the season.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are the same story – 0.3ft bumps with barely any energy. The wind does go offshore on Saturday afternoon from the SW at 15 mph, giving a clean look, but it’s still flat. Monday the 27th sees a glassy morning with a light NNW breeze at 5 mph, but that swell is still a pathetic 0.3ft.
This pattern holds through the entire week and into the next. Tuesday the 29th of July, Wednesday the 30th, Thursday the 31st – all tiny, all with poor surf conditions. The combined energy values are consistently in the single digits or low teens, which tells you there’s no push. We get a few glassy mornings, like on Friday the 31st of July with a light W breeze at 5 mph, and again on Tuesday the 4th of August, but it’s all for nothing.
The second week doesn’t offer a break. The swell stays below 2ft for the entire period, with the biggest bump being a 2ft, 6-second windswell from the NE on Monday the 3rd of August. That’s a short-period, weak wave with combined energy of 28, and it’s coming with onshore wind. That’s not for paddle surfing.
This is a proper dry run. For a spot like Pambula Rivermouth, which is inconsistent at the best of times, a long stretch of flatness is not unusual. It’s a tough stretch, but conditions can change. Right now, there are no standouts, no hidden gems, and no reason to get the boards wet. If you’re desperate, maybe look at a kite, because the wind is there, but the surf isn’t.
