Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's look ahead at what we've got in store for us.
Alright, if I'm being straight with you, this stretch is a tough one. We're looking at a solid run of poor surf for well over a week straight. From Monday the 6th all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 15th of July, there's just nothing doing. The swell's small, the wind's messy, and the energy just isn't there for a proper wave.
Now, the first glimmer we get isn't until Thursday the 16th of July at Portreath Harbour Wall. That morning we could see a clean 4 ft swell coming from the SW with a light offshore wind. The water's sitting at 60°, pretty much normal for this time of year. It's a reef setup that needs the right direction, and it tends to draw a crowd, so you might have some company. It's just a small window of surfable, but after all that nothing, it's the first sign of life.
The real standout – and I mean the only one worth getting properly excited about – is shaping up for the following week. On Monday the 20th of July, that morning session at Portreath Harbour Wall is where you want to be. We've got a solid 8 ft of swell rolling out of the west, with a combined wave energy reading of 798. That's some serious push and a very strong energy level. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, keeping things fairly clean. Now, this size is definitely expert territory; over 8 ft is no joke, especially at a reef break. The direction is a solid NW, which is exactly what this spot wants to see. It's only a small window before the wind chops it up in the afternoon, but that morning could be the session of the fortnight.
Then on Tuesday the 21st of July, there's another mention of an 8 ft W swell, but the wind is stronger and cross-off. It's still a possibility, but that Monday window looks like the cleanest shot at something really good. For a spot that rarely sees this kind of consistent power, this is a rare opportunity. Get on it if you're experienced.
Rusty.
