The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee. It has been a lean stretch here for a while, but I can finally see some changes coming. Let's start at the beginning.
Look, for this first week, from the 17th all the way through to the 24th of July, the forecast is pretty dead. We've got tiny swell, mostly under 1ft, with a nasty cross-shore or onshore wind pinning it down. The combined energy is stuck in the weak range (mostly 7 to 64) with short periods. It’s not worth wetting a wetsuit for, plain and simple. There's about a full week of this flatness.
We start to see a real shift around Sunday the 27th of July. A good solid W wind sets up offshore, and the waves finally breathe. On Monday the 27th afternoon at Pors Ar Ville (France), we're looking at a clean 2ft of W swell, period hitting a nice 8 seconds. The combine energy jumps up to 64. That starts to look interesting.
Now, for the real standout for the whole 16-day outlook: Wednesday the 29th of July. The whole day is a beauty. We get 3ft of swell coming from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, which makes for clean lines, but here's the kicker - the combined energy is over 150. That's proper wave energy and it’s hitting all day. Thursday the 30th is still solid with a strong offshore wind up to 25 mph, but it will be glassy and clean, though the swell dips a little.
If you are keen, the entire period from the 27th to the 31st of July (next week) is your window. That Wednesday is the pick; don't sleep on it.
Stay stoked.
