The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. Looking at the next couple weeks, this one’s a real tough stretch.
We’ve got a long quiet period right out of the gate. The first chance at anything worthwhile is Wednesday morning the 22nd at States Avenue (Gas Chambers). A small but clean 7ft swell from the S, with moderate wave energy (812). The cross-offshore wind cleans it up nicely. The period’s short though (8 seconds), so don’t expect much power.
After that it’s a real desert. Thursday the 23rd all the way through late July we’ve got tiny waves, choppy conditions, and cross-shore or onshore winds the whole way. A little bump late on Tuesday the 28th with a 4ft S swell, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy. The next morning, Wednesday the 29th, is clean with a light breeze and a weak 2ft SSE swell—hardly a session maker, but the only other cleaner window.
Then it just fades. Small windswell, weak energy, nothing over 2ft that’s any good. And it stays flat into early August. Water temp’s about 76°—a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The best bet is Wednesday morning the 22nd at States Avenue. Clean conditions with that 7ft south swell. It’s the only real session in the whole outlook.
Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it. Might be a good week to wax the longboard and wait.
Rusty.
