The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the skinny on Silva Island. The water's a balmy 86°F to start, which is a solid 4°F warmer than average for this time of year. It's like a bathtub out there.
The main event is Monday the 27th of July. We've got a clean 2ft of SSW groundswell pumping in with a super long 19-second period. The wind is dead glassy from the SSE at 3 mph. This is the primo session for this reef, the long period will wrap in beautifully. The wave energy is moderate (428). The quality continues through Tuesday the 28th with a little more size, 3ft from the SW (18 seconds), and more glassy morning wind. Wednesday the 29th is the same story, 3ft of SW swell with clean conditions. These first three mornings are the cream of the crop.
Thursday the 30th still has a clean 2ft swell in the morning, but the energy is fading (215). By Friday the 31st, the swell is down to 2ft and the energy is getting weak (128). The glassy morning helps, but it's just ordinary.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Saturday the 1st of August, the swell drops to 2ft and keeps shrinking. The wind gets messy, and the energy falls into the double digits. It's a long stretch of poor to ordinary surf until we get a tiny pulse on Friday the 7th of August. That morning shows a small 1ft groundswell, but with an 18-second period and completely calm winds, the energy jumps back to 174. It's tiny, but it's clean.
The next real chance is Saturday the 8th of August. A 2ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period and glassy wind in the morning. The energy is moderate (215). It's a smaller version of the start. The week after that, from the 9th to the 11th, looks small and only surfable, nothing special.
So, bottom line: the absolute standout is Monday morning the 27th of July. That long-period groundswell, glassy conditions, and weirdly warm water is a proper score. The Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are nearly as good. The rest of the 16-day window is a slow fade with a few small, clean windows for the patient ones.
Rusty, signing off.
