The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase: the next 16 days are a total washout for waves. There’s no good surf on the horizon, so save your energy.
The first chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until the 26th of July, and even that’s a stretch. From now till then, it’s a big gap of nothing. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, and when it’s cross it’s lumpy. The swell is small, weak, and short-period, with combined energy numbers mostly under 100 (80) or barely creeping into moderate—like 156 on the 17th afternoon, but it’s still all poor surf conditions. Honestly, with the consistent 15-20 mph breezes, this setup looks more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Spew Pits is a reef break, expert-only, and it’s consistent. But it ain’t breaking. The optimum swell is from the NNW, and we’re getting a mix of N and NNE, which is off. Water temp is 73° and a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about it.
The only tiny glimmer is on the 26th of July, Saturday morning and afternoon, where we finally see a 5-6 ft swell from the north, with periods around 8 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 535 (strong energy) and the wind is cross-off, so the surf is clean. But it’s still only a 1 out of 10—marginal surf forecast or questionable tide. It’s borderline for experts, but for anyone else, it’s still too messy and the period is too short. The 27th and 28th are similar but with cross-chop, so no thanks.
So, bottom line: don’t get your hopes up. This is a blank run, and it’s pretty normal for this area when the swell doesn’t line up. Forecasts can change, but from where I’m standing, there’s no standout here. Not even one.
Rusty.
