The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what we've got cookin' at Ponquogue The Bowl. Water temps are sittin' at 70°, which is a bit colder than what we'd usually expect for this time of year, so a decent spring suit is probably still the call.
Right now, the start of the window is a total washout. Saturday the 25th through to Tuesday the 29th is pretty much a write-off. We're looking at onshore winds, weak, short-period slop, and the wave energy is pitiful – barely hitting 94 (weak energy). It’s just not worth paddling out for. You’d be fighting the breeze for nothing.
There's a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 30th, though. The swell bumps up to a clean 5ft, and we’ve got offshore winds out of the NW in the morning. Wave energy jumps right up to 420 (moderate energy). That’s the session to aim for if you’re an intermediate surfer looking for some clean, punchy walls. Thursday afternoon looks tidy too, with the wind swinging light offshore. It’s a decent spell, but nothing that’ll have you ringing in sick.
After that, we slip back into a bit of a lull. Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August offer a small window, with Saturday morning seeing a glassy 3ft SSW swell and hardly any wind, giving us a combined energy of 253 (moderate energy). It’s small and clean for the longboard or a fun fish. Then it gets messy again.
The real standout, and the one I’d circle on your calendar, arrives early on Monday the 3rd of August. It's not a monster, but we get a clean 4ft swell from the SSE with light offshore breezes. The energy is up to 317 (moderate energy). That’s your best bet for some proper lines and a bit of power without the crowd. It won't be too big for intermediates, and the quality should be there.
Later in the run, like Sunday the 9th of August, things pick up to 5ft again but the winds are fresh and it’s rated as poor despite the size. For the experienced crew that might offer something, but for the average surfer, it’s a tough paddle.
Look, honestly, there’s a big gap of nothing from Saturday the 25th until the 30th, but with a fairly consistent setup like The Bowl, you know it won’t stay flat forever. The best on offer is that Monday the 3rd of August morning session – small but clean, and that’s where I’d be.
Stay frothy,
Rusty
