The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for our region here, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. For the next 16 days, the surf is pretty much flat or blown out, with wave energy barely ticking over. We’re looking at a long dry spell with nothing really rideable, so don’t expect much action.
The first few days, starting Tuesday the 4th, are real small – just 1 foot waves from the east with a short 7-second period, and combined energy barely reaching 11 to 15. That’s weak stuff. Winds are light, but the swell is just too tiny to bother with. Wednesday and Thursday the 5th and 6th get a bit more wind, but it’s onshore and messy, and the swell stays under 3 feet with energy only around 45 to 55. Still no good.
By Friday the 7th, we see a slight bump to 4 feet, but it’s wind-affected with onshore east winds at 12-16 mph, and energy only hits 92. That’s weak, and the conditions are poor. The weekend and into the next week, from the 8th to the 14th, the swell just hovers around 2 to 4 feet, mostly short-period east or southeast swell, with energy staying in the 30s to 80s. Winds are cross-on or onshore, so it’s choppy and messy.
The second week, from the 12th onward, it’s even smaller – 0.3 feet to 2 feet – with energy dropping to single digits or teens. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday the 17th where the wind switches to a light cross-off from the southwest, and it’s clean, but the swell is still only 1 foot. Not enough to surf. The morning of Tuesday the 18th looks glassy with a light SSW wind, but again, the swell is just 1 foot and 8 seconds – barely a ripple.
Honestly, Stuart Rocks is a reef break that needs some proper swell, and it’s just not happening. The combined energy never breaks into three digits, so it’s all weak. No standout days here, folks. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
Bottom line: skip the gear for the next two weeks. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
