The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Look, it’s a tough slog ahead for the Pambula Rivermouth. The first week’s pretty much a bust, so save your energy. Water temp’s 60°F, which is about average for the season, nothing weird.
Monday 27 July: dead flat. 0.3ft SE swell with a long 14-second period, but combined energy is a measly 10. Glassy morning but no waves. Afternoon goes onshore NE at 9 mph, so skip it.
Tuesday 28 July and Wednesday 29 July: still tiny – 0.7ft to 0.3ft SE swell, energy between 10 and 32. Wind’s all over the place, cross-off from the west on Wednesday, but the swell’s not there. Thursday 30 July through Saturday 1 August: zero to 1ft SE swell, energy dropping to zero. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday 1 August, but that 1ft at 13 seconds ain’t gonna push you.
Sunday 2 August finally gets a bump – 2ft SE swell, period dropping to 11 seconds, energy climbing to 193 by afternoon. But wind’s cross-onshore from the N-NE, so choppy. Still no good.
Monday 3 August to Wednesday 5 August: 0.7ft to 2ft, clean wind but tiny. Energy stays under 100.
Now for the real news. Thursday 6 August morning: swell jumps to 6ft from the SE at a short 8-second period. Energy hits 708 – that’s moderate but punchy. Offshore wind from the SW at 19 mph keeps it clean. That’s the standout of the whole forecast for Pambula Rivermouth. But 6ft with short period means steep, dumpy waves – advanced only.
Friday 7 August keeps it solid: 6ft, period up to 11 seconds, energy 874. Wind moderate offshore from the SW at 16 mph. By afternoon, it’s 7ft with energy over 1000 – strong stuff. That’s expert territory, especially on a river mouth with long period swell – it can get straight and hollow. Saturday 8 August afternoon is the best call: 7ft ESE swell, 11-second period, energy over 1000, offshore from the S at 12 mph. Crowds are possible, so be ready.
Sunday 9 August drops fast – 5ft but onshore from the NE kills it. After that, it’s back to small and weak through 11 August.
Bottom line: you’ve got over a week of nothing, then a two-day blast around 6-8 August for experienced surfers only. If you’re a beginner, this is not your window.
Rusty.
