The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next sixteen days.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. For the first few days, we’ve got a stormy vibe with a cross-onshore wind from the south at 22 mph, stirring up a lumpy, messy 5 ft to 5 ft swell. The combined wave energy is only moderate (107-136), and with a short period around 5-6 seconds, there’s just no power or shape. Honestly, it’s poor out there. The water temperature is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the waves are junk.
We’ve got a long gap ahead. From Tuesday afternoon through to the end of the forecast, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell drops off dramatically – by Wednesday morning on the 22nd, we’re down to 3 ft, and by the weekend of the 25th and 26th, it’s barely a ripple at 1 ft to 0.7 ft. The combined energy plummets from weak to almost nothing (74 down to 2). The wind does clean up a bit on the morning of the 23rd with a light cross-offshore breeze, but there’s no swell to work with. The same story repeats right through to the 4th of August – tiny waves, poor quality, and offshore winds only popping up on the very last morning of the forecast.
The only spot on the list is Point o Rocks, and it’s an inconsistent point break that needs a solid SW swell to really fire. The optimum swell direction is SW, but nearly all the swell we see is from the W or WNW, so it’s just not lining up. The crowds are sometimes there, but with the current outlook, you won’t have to worry about company.
To be honest, there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is a dud. On the plus side, forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this flat for long in this area. But for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
