The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the local stretch.
Honestly, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, with the only real chance of a paddle coming up early on. The swell is there, but the quality is just not happening for most of the run.
The action starts on Monday, 27 July, with a solid 6ft SSW groundswell rolling in, packing a decent punch of energy (1677). The wave period is a long 18 seconds, which means proper lines, but this spot is a rare break, so you gotta be patient. The wind is light and offshore from the SW, so it'll be clean. Tuesday morning, 28 July, is the standout. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SW, the energy goes through the roof (4062), and the period is still a meaty 17 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the WSW. This is powerful, clean, and the best we'll see. It's a lot of water moving, over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. By Tuesday afternoon, it's already dropping.
After that, it's a downhill slide. The swell drops, the wind goes cross-shore or onshore, and the conditions get choppy and messy. It's a real shame, because the swell energy is there for a few days, but the wind just ruins the party. From Wednesday, 29 July, onward, it's a mix of marginal or poor surf. There's a long gap of flat, poor conditions from the end of July through the first week of August. Around Wednesday, 5 August, the wind looks clean, but the swell is tiny at 1ft, so it's just not worth the effort. The rest of the run through to Tuesday, 11 August, is a write-off with small, weak swell and bad wind.
To sum it up: grab your board on Tuesday morning, 28 July, if you've got the skills for a 7ft groundswell with offshore wind. That's the one and only highlight. The rest of the 16 days is a long, flat, and choppy wait.
Rusty.
