Rebounds Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up at Rebounds over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 53°F, which is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year – nothing outrageous, just a solid reminder to zip up the steamer.

We’re starting off with a gem. Thursday afternoon, the 9th of July, is the standout. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the S, with a long 19-second period pushing some serious energy through (756). The wind is glassy, light from the NNE at 3 mph. This is a proper reef-break session – clean, lined up, and that long period will wrap in nicely. Crowds are possible here, so it’s one to get on early.

Friday morning the 10th holds similar 3 ft swell from the SSW, period drops to 17 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. It’s clean, but the energy eases a bit (504). Friday afternoon stays clean with a lighter offshore breeze, though the swell period drops again.

Saturday and Sunday the 11th and 12th are a write-off. Swell drops to 1 ft – 2 ft, and the wind gets fresh and messy. The energy is weak (176 down to 80). Not worth suiting up.

There’s a bit of a pulse on Monday morning the 13th, with a 4 ft SSW swell and a long 16-second period, but it’s accompanied by a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong (1044), but the quality is marginal. The afternoon gets even windier.

Tuesday the 14th sees a bigger 7 ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and massive energy (2823), but the wind is a strong cross-onshore mess. That’s expert-only, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Things clean up nicely on Wednesday morning the 15th. A solid 5 ft S swell with 14-second period (1331) and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. This is another very good window. The afternoon is a bit more ordinary but still rideable.

The following week is a mixed bag of cleaner, smaller swells with offshore winds, particularly from the 17th to the 19th, where we see waist-high SSW swells with good 15-16 second periods and offshore breezes. Energy sits in the 400-600 range – fun, consistent waves for a cruiser session.

The 23rd of July has a bigger pulse of 6 ft SSW swell with an 18-second period and very high energy (2264), but the wind is light and cross. It’s a big, powerful, but not perfectly clean option. The 24th morning sees a drop back to 4 ft with the wind turning offshore – that’s your best bet for the very end of the run.

Bottom line: The best on offer is Thursday afternoon the 9th of July – glassy, clean, proper groundswell. The close second is Wednesday morning the 15th – still very good, just a touch more wind. The rest of the two weeks is a mix of clean, small days and a few bigger, wind-affected swells.
