The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for our neck of the woods.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough one. Looking at the next 16 days, the surf cupboard is completely bare. There is not a single wave on offer across this entire forecast period. Not one. We're looking at a full 16-day stretch with nothing to ride.
The water temp at Southwick Beach State Park is sitting at a noticeable 73.4°, which is a touch warmer than what we'd usually expect for this time of year. That's about the only positive I can mention. The combined swell energy is zero (0) across the board, so all that's on offer is flat, clean conditions. While there are plenty of days with light, glassy, or offshore breezes which would make for a perfect surface, without any swell it's just a lake.
It's a real bummer, but a blank run like this can happen in the summer doldrums. Don't bin the boards just yet – forecasts change, and it rarely stays this dead for long.
