Alright, let’s run through the same outlook but in good ol’ feet and miles per hour.
Spanish Bay-South Moss is gonna dish up a mixed bag over the next couple weeks. Some days are flat and choppy, but there’s one session that’s worth circling on the calendar.
Starting Sunday July 5th: small 0.7m (2ft) SSW groundswell, 18-second period, but wind is cross-on from the WNW at 6 mph. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 60°F (anomaly 3°F) – feels nice but the waves are poor, too much chop. Monday the 6th: still tiny 0.8m (3ft) SSW, but onshore wind picks up. Tuesday the 7th: swell climbs to 1.0m (3ft) SSW, 19 seconds, but onshore NW wind at 12 mph kills it. Wednesday the 8th: same story.
Thursday the 9th: a sudden jump to 2.1m (7ft) NW short-period junk (9 seconds) with onshore wind – that’s chunky and messy, more for kite gear than a surfboard. Same pattern through Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th.
Then we get our window. Sunday July 12th is the one. Morning: glassy conditions with only a whisper of wind from the NW at 3 mph, swell 0.8m (3ft) SSW, 14-second groundswell. Combined energy moderate (588), and the forecast calls for very good surf. Clean, small, shapely – perfect for a longboard or a fish. Afternoon stays glassy from the north, same size. Crowds are possible here, so paddle out early.
From Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th it’s back to onshore wind and short-period swell (1–1.9m / 5–6ft NW/WNW, 7–8 seconds) – poor quality. Thursday the 16th afternoon offers a tiny 0.9m (3ft) WNW groundswell (19 seconds) with lighter wind – marginal but worth a peek. Friday the 17th: 1.8m (6ft) NW windswell, cross-on – still marginal. The second week from Sunday the 19th onward fades to small, onshore, and poor.
Bottom line: if you’ve got flexibility, Sunday the 12th is the clear standout. Otherwise, the next two weeks are mostly a bust. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
