Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and knots.
Nothing happening right now. First real shot is Monday July 6th with a solid 8ft SE swell, but a short 7-second period. Fresh offshore wind from the SSE at 16 knots keeps it clean, but the waves are just a jumbly mess. Total energy is moderate at 620. Only for the brave.
Tuesday the 7th drops a bit to 6-7ft SE, still short period at 8 seconds, moderate offshore wind. Same story – big but not beautiful.
Wednesday the 8th is where the quality lifts. A 7ft SE groundswell with a long 12-second period hits, clean moderate offshore wind from the south at 16 knots, and energy jumps to a strong 2188. Point Cartwright/Secrets will start to link up nicely. Water temp is average for this time of year at 69°F. This is an experienced surfer’s window.
The best of the whole run is Friday July 10th. A 6ft SE swell with a 10-second period, light offshore wind from the south at 9 knots, and strong energy at 1213. Clean, punchy, and the point will be reeling. Get there early – it can get crowded.
Saturday the 11th is a small, clean 3ft SE groundswell with 11-second period and light offshore breeze, but energy is low at 224. A fun board for the patient.
From Sunday the 12th onward, it’s a long stretch of small, wind-affected or onshore slop. The only flicker is Saturday July 18th – a 4ft SE groundswell with a very long 14-second period, but onshore wind in the afternoon. The morning could be tidy if you’re keen on a long-period point wave in small clean conditions. Not a sure thing, but worth a look.
The clear winner is Friday the 10th. That’s your day.
Rusty.
