Alright folks, here’s what we’ve got.
Honestly, Spanish Bay-South Moss is in a tough spot over this 16-day stretch. It’s mostly a waiting game, with only a couple of moments that might get your heart rate up.
The best chance of anything decent comes on Saturday morning, July 11th. We’ve got a small 3ft swell out of the SSW with a very long 15 second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with an offshore wind from the NW at 15 km/h, the surface should be glassy and clean. The combined energy is moderate (456), but it’s an inconsistent spot that rarely breaks, so if you get a set, you’ll be stoked. Crowds are possible, so keep your head on a swivel. This is the pick of the period.
Sunday morning July 12th bumps up to 5ft from the NW, but the period drops to a short 9 seconds, and the wind goes light cross-onshore. That’s going to mess with the shape. Combined energy is moderate (641), but it’s marginal at best.
By Thursday July 16th, we see a solid 7ft NW swell with strong combined energy (1108), but a moderate onshore breeze of 20 km/h ruins it. That’s a blown-out, messy scene. For most surfers, 7ft is too big and dangerous; only experienced folks should even think about it.
The second week is small and frustrating. From Friday July 17th through July 22nd, swells are tiny — 2ft to 3ft — mostly from the SSW or WNW with long periods, and offshore winds. Sounds good, but there’s no power. Combined energy is low to moderate (306-771). A longboard might get you wet, but the wave quality is poor.
July 24th and 25th show a little pulse: 7ft from the NW on Friday afternoon with light cross-shore wind, and 7ft again on Saturday morning with light offshore wind. Still, the short period (8-9 seconds) and marginal conditions mean it’s only worth a look if you’re really keen.
The standout is Saturday morning July 11th: clean, long-period, and the best chance for a glassy session. Everything else is a struggle. Don’t write the whole window off, but stay patient.
