Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at St Andrews State Park.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat and frustrating stretch. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°, but that’s about the only thing worth getting excited about. For the first week, honestly, there’s nothing to run for. Thursday kicks off with tiny 1 ft windswell from the WSW, a 3-second period, and combined energy of just 3 – that’s barely a ripple. The wind is on it, and the surf is poor. Friday morning offers a slight improvement with a 7-second period from the S, but the swell height is only 0.7 ft and the energy is still a sad 6. The wind is on it, making it junk.
We’ve got a gap of about a week of poor, small surf. Saturday (11th) sees a slight bump to 1 ft from the S, but with cross-on winds and a period of 6 seconds, it’s just messy. By Sunday (12th), it’s the same story. The mornings of the 13th and 14th do offer some glassy conditions, but the swell is so small—2 ft and 2 ft—that it’s not worth paddling out for. The energy is still very weak.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window leans towards the second week. On Thursday, the 16th of July, the afternoon shows a pulse of 5 ft swell from the SW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 123 (moderate). The wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit choppy, but this is the biggest we’re going to see. This is a beach and jetty setup, and with that period, it’s not going to be a groundswell beauty, but if you’re desperate, it’s the only game in town. For a beginner, 5 ft is fine; for experts, it’s nothing special.
Friday the 17th still has some 3 ft leftover from the SW, but the energy drops to 49. By the 20th, we’re back to glassy mornings but with tiny 2 ft swell. The 21st shows a glassy afternoon with a 2 ft, but it’s just not enough.
Honestly, the whole 16-day forecast is a dud. If you’re a kite surfer, those afternoons with moderate cross-onshore winds might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, I’d leave the board at home. The consistency is there for small waves, but the quality is never there. It’s a poor run for the area.
Rusty.
