The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee or your beer, ‘cause I’m gonna lay it down straight. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for St Andrews State Park.
Honestly, partner, it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is lookin’ pretty flat and crummy. From now through Wednesday, July 29th, and on through the first week of August, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swells and a lot of onshore wind. The water temp is a balmy 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, but you won’t be needing your wetsuit to fight any big waves. The swell energy is barely registering, with readings like 21, 12, and 34 in the early days – that’s weak sauce. Wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore from the west and southwest, messing up what little ripple there is. The few times we get a bit of a cleaner look – like Thursday morning, August 6th, and Friday morning, August 7th, with a light east-southeast cross-offshore breeze – the waves are just pathetic, barely 0.7 ft or 1 ft. The swell period is short, too, mostly 4 or 5 seconds, so no energy and no shape.
The best you can hope for is Sunday, August 2nd. The morning shows a slightly bigger 4 ft swell from the west-southwest (energy hits 98 – still weak, but the best of the bunch). But then you’ve got a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be lumpy. This is a beach and jetty setup that’s fully exposed to the swell, but with that wind and small size, it’s not worth paddling out for. Honestly, for most of this run, with the poor quality and constant wind, this looks more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers.
There’s no real standout in this whole window. We’re looking at a major gap of at least a week where there’s just no surf to get excited about. Don’t hold your breath; just wax your board for another day.
Rusty.
