The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. I've got the goods on Son Serra Nova for the next couple of weeks, and I have to be honest with you: it's a tough stretch. This spot is a reef set-up that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, the next 16 days don't look like they're going to change that reputation.
For the first week and a half, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, with heights barely scraping 1ft on the 22nd of July, and the tides of energy are pathetic, with a combined energy score of just (5) that morning. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, so the quality is poor. There's a glimmer of something on the morning of the 23rd of July, with the water dead flat and glassy, but the swell is still only 1ft and coming from the NNE with a period of just 6 seconds. It's clean, but there's no power behind it.
We see a slight bump on the 26th of July, where the swell height pushes to 5ft on the Sunday afternoon, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate (240). That's the biggest we'll see, but the wind is blasting cross-onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. For a reef that needs clean conditions, that's a no-go.
The whole forecast is a long gap of nothing. From the 30th of July right through to the 5th of August, there's zero swell energy recorded. The water is often glassy, which is nice, but with no waves, it's just a flat lake out there.
There is one standout, and it's a very long-range promise. On the morning of the 3rd of August, the wind is glassy from the WSW, and a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE shows up, with a combined energy of (18). It's small, but the glassy conditions mean it would be clean. The same conditions repeat on the 4th and 5th of August with 2ft and 2ft swells, respectively, and glassy mornings. For a break that rarely gets any swell, this is actually the best on offer. It's not going to be a big day, but for a morning session on a mellow reef, it's the only window with any chance. The water temperature is a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The reality is, for a break that rarely breaks, this blank run is pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about until the first week of August.
