The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat, and let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for St Andrews State Park. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The swell is just not showing up, and every single day in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a tough run.
We start off on Thursday, 30th July, with a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, barely 4 seconds of period, and a cross-on wind that’s just making a mess of the surface. The combined wave energy is a weak 13, so there’s barely any push. It’s the same story rolling into Friday and Saturday – small, choppy, and onshore. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
There’s a bit of a tease on the morning of Tuesday, 4th August. The wind drops to glassy, and the swell is a tiny 3ft from the SW with a 6-second period. The energy is still low at 39, but if you’ve got a foamie and just want to bob around, that morning might be the cleanest surface you’ll see all week. It won’t be good, just not as bad.
After that, it’s a long, flat, and choppy drift all the way through to the 14th of August. Swells barely reach 2ft, periods are short, and winds are either cross-on or onshore. The energy numbers are in the dirt – single digits and low teens. There’s nothing here to get excited about. Honestly, with the consistent onshore wind and tiny weak swell, the setup at this beach/jetty looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the summer pattern settles in.
So, I’d say leave the board in the car and keep an eye on the forecast. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, we’re in a drought. - Rusty
