Hey, Rusty here again. Straight up, this is a tough one for Spanish Bay-South Moss. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak, with the wind causing all sorts of trouble.
We start off on Friday, 3 July. There's a small 4ft swell out of the NW, but a cross-onshore breeze is messing it up. The wave energy is weak (345), so it's just small, messy surf. That's the story for the weekend, too. Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are the same deal – tiny waves and choppy conditions. The period goes long (18 seconds) on Sunday, but with only 2ft of swell, those long-period waves will just close out on this beach.
From Monday the 6th through to the 10th of July, the wind swings onshore and picks up to a moderate breeze. Wave heights range from 2ft to 3ft. There's a spike in energy on Tuesday morning, 7 July (1039), but that onshore wind (NW at 20 km/h) turns it into a complete mess. The swell nudges up to 7ft on Thursday the 9th afternoon from the WNW, with a strong energy reading of 1012, but the onshore breeze at 25 km/h just destroys any chance of a decent wave. That size is definitely for experts only. Friday the 10th morning sees 6ft from the NW, but the onshore wind keeps it poor.
The 11th of July morning offers a bit of a reprieve. The wind drops to a lighter cross-onshore, and we have a 6ft swell from the WNW. The energy is moderate at 675, so you might find a few junkable waves, but the period is a short 9 seconds, meaning it'll be weak and sectiony. After that, it's back to poor from Sunday the 12th onwards.
From Monday the 13th to the 18th of July, it's a long, sad run of poor to marginal conditions. Friday the 17th has a 3ft swell with a 16-second period, giving a moderate energy of 591 to 686, but the wind is onshore. A long-period groundswell on a beach break like this will just break too straight and close out.
This is Spanish Bay-South Moss (United States), and the wind is the real villain here. Given the persistent onshore flow and the poor wave quality, this stretch honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the vast majority of the forecast. Keep an eye on it, conditions can change, but for now, I'd save the wax.
Rusty.
