The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. It’s a tough one, so I’ll be straight with you.
Point o Rocks – it’s a point break that’s inconsistent, and it’s exposed to a SW swell. The water’s sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus if you’re in the water, but you’re gonna need that warmth because you’ll be doing a lot of waiting.
Frankly, the whole 16-day window looks grim. There’s a long stretch of nothing worthwhile. From Monday the 27th of July right through to the 11th of August, every single session is marked as “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. The combined swell energy is weak, rarely climbing above 30 – that’s like a puddle slap. The biggest swell we see is 3 ft on the afternoon of Thursday the 30th of July, coming from the W with a short, choppy 5-second period, but it’s cross-onshore wind at 16 mph, so it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out for.
The best of a bad lot might be the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. We’ve got glassy conditions, which is a huge positive, but the swell is tiny – just 1 ft from the WNW, with a combined energy of only 5. It’s clean, but there’s barely a ripple. If you’re a beginner, that’s safe, but you’ll be bobbing more than riding. For anyone else, it’s a flat spell.
Then there’s a few days in early August, like the 5th and 7th, where the wind goes light and clean, but the swell is totally absent – zero energy. You’d be better off on a paddleboard.
The only real standout, and I use that word loosely, is the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. It’s clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but again, there’s no swell at all – zero combined energy. It’s a beautiful day to sit on the beach, not to surf.
Given the consistent lack of swell and the mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, this is a classic case of a blank run. For a spot like this, it’s not unusual to have a quiet spell. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s looking like a bust. The only thing moving fast here is the wind, and with the setup being a point, it’s not even good for kite surfing.
Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath. This is one for the long walk.
Rusty.
