Alright, mates, let’s talk Rivière Noire Harbour sandbar in feet and miles per hour.
First couple of days are cooked. Monday you’ve got a 6ft SW swell, but a 22 mph south wind is shredding it. Energy’s at (1476) but it’s a mess. Don’t bother. Tuesday is worse – 6ft swell with a 25 mph SE wind, energy at (2031), but it’s all cross-off and messy.
Wednesday the 8th of July shows some life. Wind goes offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, grooming a 10ft SE swell. The energy reading is huge at (2998). That’s a powerful, expert-only wave. The period is short at 9 seconds, so it won’t be super clean, but it’s the first real swell. Water temp is 77°, a touch warmer than normal.
Thursday the 9th drops to 6ft from the SSE, energy around (668), cross-off wind. Clean but weak.
Friday the 10th is tiny – 2ft in the morning with a long 16-second period from the SW. Not enough height. Afternoon picks up to 4ft, same period, but still nothing special.
Saturday the 11th is your best bet in the first week. 5ft SSW groundswell, 16-second period, with a 12 mph offshore easterly. Energy is (1155), wind is clean offshore. That’s a proper session for intermediates and above.
Sunday the 12th builds to 7ft from the SW, 15-second period. Offshore wind in the afternoon, energy at (2215). The report says “excellent for experienced surfers.” At 8ft, this is expert-only territory, with hollow, powerful waves.
Monday the 13th keeps the quality – 7ft SW, 14-second period, offshore wind. Energy over (1500). Another top day.
Tuesday the 14th onward, it fades. Down to 5ft, then 3ft, energy drops below (732). From the 15th to the 19th, it’s poor – 3ft to 4ft drivel, with “poor surf conditions” and scores of 0. That’s a five-day flat spell.
Then Monday the 20th of July wakes up. A 8ft S swell, 15-second period, with a 16 mph offshore ESE wind. Energy hits (3276). The afternoon is “excellent for experienced surfers.” It’s a long way out, but it’s the hope of a late-season push.
So, for the imperial crew: Saturday the 11th is clean and manageable. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are for the big dogs. And watch the 20th for a potential bomb.
Rusty out.
