Table Rock Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Table Rock has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring overall. There's no standout swell period or any of that magic combo you dream about. We're nursing some tiny, weak waves for almost the entire run, so don't go getting your hopes up for anything special. The first surf recommendation pops up on Tuesday the 14th, but it's a real struggle from the get-go.

For Tuesday the 14th you've got tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNE in the morning, swinging around to 3ft from the NE by the afternoon, but with a shockingly short period of only 4 seconds. That's just wind chop, lads. The combined energy is weak (37) and the wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it'll look clean but there's nothing to ride.

The rest of that first week and into the second is more of the same: wave heights bouncing between 0.3ft and 2ft, periods mostly under 8 seconds, and combined swell energy never even cracking triple digits. A couple of mornings like Wednesday the 22nd and Friday the 24th go glassy, but with swell that tiny, you're looking at flat, oily water, not surfable waves. It's a long, flat stretch of poor surf conditions for almost two full weeks.

The only real flicker of life comes right at the end of the forecast. On Monday the 28th of July, the afternoon shows 3ft swell from the NE with a period of 4 seconds, and the combined energy nudges up to 72 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NE. Still, it's short-period stuff and it's only a single bump in an otherwise flat chart. Then Wednesday the 29th morning goes glassy again with barely a ripple.

So, what's the best on offer? Honestly, there's no true standout here. If you're desperate, that Monday the 28th afternoon is your best bet for the biggest, cleanest bump of the whole window, but it's still a poor-quality, short-period wave for experienced surfers only. Beginners, don't even bother. This is a classic case of the area going quiet – it's a blank run that's pretty normal, and you're better off waiting for the next proper swell.

Rusty.
