Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the next couple of weeks for our local spot.
Right now, and looking out for the next 16 days, it's a bleak picture. We've got nothing but flat, poor conditions on the cards at Saybrook. The combined wave energy is a flat zero, and it's going to stay that way. We're looking at a solid run of days with no surf at all. The water temp is sitting at 24°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
From Wednesday the 15th of July right through to the end of the month, every single forecast window shows no wave height, no swell direction, and no period. It's all zeros. There are patches of glassy or clean wind on Friday the 17th morning (WSW 3 miles per hour), Thursday the 23rd morning (ESE 3 miles per hour), Wednesday the 29th morning (E 3 miles per hour), and even some cross-offshore breezes on the 24th and 30th. But it doesn't matter – with zero swell to work with, the cleanest wind in the world won't put a rideable wave under your board.
We do have some moderate breezes and a few fresh westerly winds kicking up later in the period, but that's all just whitecaps and chop on a flat ocean. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for someone wanting to mess around on a kiteboard than for paddle surfing, but even then, there's no swell to push you. There's simply no standout day, no best option. It's a total blank. For a spot like this, a long quiet run happens. Forecasts can change, but as things stand, keep the boards in the garage for a while.
Rusty.

Information about the Saybrook Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Saybrook provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Saybrook can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Saybrook surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Saybrook) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Saybrook may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
