Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch.
To be straight with you, we’re staring down a pretty grim run for St Andrews State Park over the next week and a half. The surf is tiny and the wind just won’t play ball. You’re looking at a solid 12 days of nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is barely a ripple for the first week and a half, with combined energy values stuck in the weak zone – mostly way under 100 – so don't even bother checking the cam. By July 19th, things start to nudge up a little, but it’s still messy.
The only flicker of hope comes mid-to-late in the window. On Wednesday July 22nd, on the morning, we see the swell jump up to 6.2 ft from the WSW, with the combined energy finally pushing into a moderate 302. The period is a short 7 seconds though, so it’s not going to be the prettiest wave, but there’s some push. The kicker is the wind swings light and variable from the WNW – almost glassy, just a light cross-onshore ripple. That’s about as clean as this spot will look in this whole forecast. Even the water temp is a touch warmer than normal for July, sitting around 87.3°.
However, with that size pushing close to 6.5 ft, this one’s leaning towards the more experienced crew on a beach/jetty setup. Beginners will find it a bit much. The wind conditions might actually make this more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session given the short-period, choppy potential.
Honestly, the best call is Thursday July 23rd. The swell drops to a more manageable 3.6 ft from the SW, with a cleaner, cross-off wind from the east at 9 mph. The combined energy is still weak at 72, but with clean conditions, you’ll find a few rideable ones. That’s your one standout – it's not epic, but compared to everything else, it’s the only window where you won't be frustrated. The period is still short at 6 seconds, so it's a beach break close-out if there’s no bank.
It’s a long dry spell. Don't force it. Wait for that 22nd or the 23rd if you're desperate, otherwise, leave the boards in the car.
