The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Spanish Bay-South Moss.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough run. The forecast is looking pretty average for a while, and the first solid recommendation doesn't come until Sunday the 2nd of August. We’ve got a dry spell before that, with a few days of onshore wind and messy conditions that just aren’t going to cut it for a decent paddle.
The swell kicks up a bit on Sunday morning, the 2nd. We’re looking at a 8ft swell from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (1033). The wind is light from the WNW, which is onshore but light enough that it might clean up. It’s a bit of a gamble, but this is the first real chance. The water temp is about 58°F – that’s pretty normal for this time of year, so no shock to the system there.
Monday the 3rd still has some size, with a 7ft NW swell and 10-second period, but the wind swings cross-onshore, making it a bit bumpy. Tuesday and Wednesday drop off in size and are still cross-shore, so it’s not going to be great.
Look, the standout here is that Sunday morning window. The swell has some size, the period is okay, and the wind is light. If you’re a confident surfer who can handle a bit of onshore texture, that’s your best bet. The break is fairly consistent, so you won’t be waiting forever for a set, but be aware that crowds are sometimes an issue here.
Later in the second week, around the 11th and 12th, we see a long-period swell showing up from the SW, with periods of 18 seconds and 17 seconds. But the size is tiny – only 2ft to 3ft – so it’s more of a micro-swell with a lot of energy behind it. It might be one for the longboarders or a quiet session, but don’t expect much push.
Overall, it’s a lean period. The first week is mostly a write-off, with a small window of hope on the 2nd. The second week has some interesting long-period energy but no real size. Hang in there – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
