The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the numbers and talk about what matters: getting you wet. I’ve looked over the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a rough start. We’re looking at a long, dry spell before anything even thinks about showing up.
First up, the only break on the cards is Pobbles Beach. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly exposed to the southwest, but it’s inconsistent. Right now, there’s just nothing doing. The first solid week is a total write-off. From Thursday afternoon, July 23rd, all the way through to Friday, July 31st, we’ve got nothing but tiny, weak swells with poor surf conditions. You’ll see a lot of zero scores. The water temperature is a whopping 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
The first real pulse of energy doesn’t arrive until the weekend of August 1st. Saturday morning, August 1st, we see a bump in size to 8ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (853). The wind is a light cross-onshore, which isn’t ideal, but it’s better than onshore. The swell is dropping by Saturday afternoon, hitting 10ft but with the same dodgy wind. Sunday, August 2nd, still has some size (5ft) but it’s messy with light rain and cross-onshore winds. For a beginner spot, this is already pushing it. The 8ft+ stuff on Saturday is really only for the experts.
After that, the energy fades fast. The rest of the first week of August looks like a return to tiny, choppy conditions. The only glimmer is on Thursday, August 6th, when we get a bit of clean, cross-offshore wind with a 4ft swell from the east, but the period is short (5 seconds) and the energy is weak (70). It’s a clean wave, but not much to get excited about.
So, the standout? Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Saturday, August 1st. It’s the biggest swell of the period, but the wind is marginal. It’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath. For now, the quiver stays in the garage.
Rusty.
