The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a surf. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds that are going to chop up whatever small swell is showing. It’s a classic case of a lot of energy in the water, but none of it organized enough to surf well.
The first few days are a write-off. The swell is small, maybe 3ft to 5ft, but the wind is just killing it. It’s choppy and lumpy, and there’s no real push to any of it. The period is short, mostly under 8 seconds, so it’s just messy and weak. You’re looking at that weak combined energy (around 214 to 275), which confirms it. Nothing to get excited about.
The pattern doesn’t really change as we go through the weekend and into next week. The swell stays small, the wind stays predominantly from the north, and the surf quality stays poor. It’s just a whole lot of nothing, with a few days where the wind is a bit stronger, making it even lumpier. By Monday the 18th, the energy drops right off, with combined energy values down to around 108 to 124, and the swell is barely 3ft. That’s about as flat as it gets.
The water temp is a touch warmer than normal, about 2°F above average, but that’s not going to help the waves.
Basically, for the next 16 days, there's no good surf on offer at Shooting Gallery. The break is consistent, but with the wind blowing straight out of the north, it’s just going to be a mess. If you’re desperate, you might find something on the 14th when the wind goes more onshore, but the swell is still weak and period short. The setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.
It’s a blank run, but with a break that’s as consistent as this one, it tends not to stay poor for long. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but right now, I’d find another project.
