The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for our stretch of coast. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough watch. The opening days are a flat, lifeless mess. The first call for any kind of surf doesn’t come until almost a week into the run, and even then, it’s barely a whisper.
Right now, through the end of July and into the first few days of August, we’re staring down the barrel of tiny, weak waves. The swell is a joke, barely 1 to 2 feet, coming from the East with a short, gutless period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is pitiful, sitting in the low teens and twenties (13-31). There’s nothing to get excited about. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, which would be great if there was any swell to clean up, but there isn’t. It’s just a flat, clean lake.
The first real, albeit tiny, pulse shows up on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. We finally see a little bump, with the swell height hitting 3 feet from the SE, but the period is still short at 5 seconds. The combined energy tickles up to 54 – still weak, but at least it’s a number. The wind is light offshore from the SSW, which will keep it glassy. This is the best we’ve got all week, but it’s barely surfable. It’s for the patient soul on a longboard.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums for another stretch. The swell drops, the wind gets messy, and we’re looking at a lot of poor surf conditions right through to the 10th of August. There are moments of clean, offshore wind, but the swell is simply not there. Nothing stands out.
So, the one and only standout here, if you can even call it that, is Sebastian Inlet-First Peak on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. You’ll have a 3-foot SE swell, and with a light offshore wind, it’ll be clean. It’s the biggest we see, and it’s the only window where the score is even a “1”. For everything else, the swell is just too small to do anything with. Keep the board in the car, but maybe don’t wax it up just yet.
Rusty.
