Right, Rusty here, in imperial. Let’s break down Rabbit/Manana Island.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a total write-off for decent surf. We’ve got swell, but that stiff easterly wind spoils everything. The combined swell energy gets into moderate territory (439 to 508) on the 6th and 7th of July, but with the wind howling from the ENE at 22 to 25 mph, it’s all cross-onshore chop and lumpy junk. The swell is short-period (7-8 seconds) at 5ft to 7ft, so no real power. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
There’s no standout day. From Friday, July 3rd right through to Saturday, July 18th, every session is poor surf conditions. The wind never lets up – fresh to strong breeze, always cross or cross-onshore from the ENE. It’s not worth paddling out.
For beginners: the swell drops under 5ft from the 11th, settling to 3ft to 5ft by the 14th, but the chop and wind make it ugly. The energy goes weak (80 to 89) from the 17th, with a 6-second period. With all this cross-shore wind and messy surface, this looks far better for the kite crew than anyone on a surfboard. It’s a long, flat run for wave quality.
Rusty.
