The Lowdown

Right then, let’s look at the surf situation over the next sixteen days. It’s a pretty grim outlook, I’ve gotta be honest with you. For almost the entire stretch, the conditions are just no good for a proper paddle session. The wind is blowing strong and cross-shore day after day, which is just chopping everything up and making a mess of the waves. The swell is there, size-wise, but the quality is just awful with all that wind. You’d be fighting a losing battle.

We start off on the first of August, a Saturday, with a clean 9.8ft swell out of the east, but that east wind is howling at 25 mph. The wave energy is strong (1020), but it's all cross-chop. That theme just keeps on repeating right through the first week and into the second. Every single day, from the 1st all the way through to the 16th of August, the forecast is for “poor surf conditions.” The wind stays relentless, mostly between 12 mph and 22 mph from the east or east-northeast, never turning offshore to clean things up. The swell size does come and go, from around 3.6ft up to 9.8ft, but the wind is the killer. On the 4th of August, a Tuesday, the morning does show a small sign of hope with a 5.6ft swell and a period of 11 seconds, which is a bit longer, but the cross-shore wind still ruins it, and the score is just a 1.

Honestly, if you were thinking of getting out at Rock Point (the only spot in the picture), you’re better off saving the gas. With the swell size often over 5ft and up to 9.8ft, and the constant cross-winds, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There are no real standouts, no windows of clean waves. It’s just a long, blank run of poor conditions that looks set to continue. Keep an eye on it, though; it can change.
