The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a total dud for St Andrews State Park. Not a single worthwhile wave in the window from July 19 through August 3. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a rough stretch.
Let’s run through it. Sunday July 19 starts with a tiny 1.0ft SE swell, period only 4 seconds – weak, gutless. Wind is light cross-off in the morning, but the swell’s so small it’s barely a ripple. Afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and not much else. Monday and Tuesday see a bit more size – up to 3ft on Tuesday morning – but it’s short-period (5 sec) and the wind swings cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. Wednesday through Friday, July 22-24, swell edges up to 4ft from the SW, but the wind stays onshore (SW) and the period never gets above 6 seconds. The combined energy peaks at 88 (Wednesday morning) – that’s weak, barely enough to paddle for.
The weekend of July 26-27? Forget it. Swell drops back to 2ft, wind cross-on, choppy. The following week, July 28 to August 3, sees a little more size – 3 to 4ft from the WSW – but the period is still short (5-6 sec), and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, 9-19 mph. The energy gets up to 98 on July 31 morning, but with that wind and short period, it’s just lumpy, blown-out junk. Even the cleanest moments – like August 1 morning with a cross-off NNW breeze – only have 4ft of weak, short-period slop. Nothing worth paddling out for.
The bottom line: St Andrews is a beginner beach/jetty that needs a clean SW swell with light offshore wind. We’re getting the wrong wind direction and the swell is too small, too short, and too messy. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off. Hang tight, check back later – forecasts can change, but right now it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
