The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's break down what’s cooking for our little corner of the coast. It’s gonna be a bit of a slow burner, so don’t expect fireworks straight away.
We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf on the horizon. For the first five days, from Monday the 20th right through to Saturday the 25th of July, it’s pretty much flat as a pancake. Swell heights are barely ticking over at 0.6 ft to 1.0 ft, and the energy in the water is minimal. You’d be better off polishing your wetsuit than paddling out. There's just nothing to ride.
Things finally try to get going on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. Out at Pors Ar Ville, we’re looking at a noticeable jump to a 5 ft swell from the WNW. The energy jumps up to a moderate 249, so there’s some push there. Problem is, that swell is a short-period 7 seconds, which makes it a bit fat and weak. Plus, the winds are a solid 16 mph cross-offshore, which will keep it clean, but that’s a stiff breeze to deal with. The waves are gonna be there, but the quality is gonna be a bit messy and questionable with the tide. This continues into the afternoon, with a 6 ft swell, but the same issues.
The following day, Monday the 27th of July, is probably *the* standout of this whole outlook, but don't get too excited – it’s a relative term. The morning session has a 5 ft WNW swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy sits at 232. What makes this the pick is that the wind has dropped to a gentle 9 mph NW cross-shore breeze. It’ll be a bit lumpy, but far more rippable than anything we've seen. The break is an exposed beach and reef setup that loves a WNW swell, so there will be some waves to hunt. This is the best you're going to get in this whole 16-day window. After that, it’s back into a rut of weak, onshore junk with 3 ft to 4 ft swells and persistent cross-onshore winds. The water temp is a pleasant 64°, which is bang on average for us right now.
So, to be straight with you: you have one shot, and that’s the morning of the 27th. After that, the forecast is a long, dusty trail of poor and marginal surf with no real energy. It’s going to be a grim couple of weeks.
Rusty.
