The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break it down for the Siltetz River.
This 16-day stretch is a real head-scratcher. There's swell kicking around, but the wind just won't cooperate. It's stuck in a cross or cross-onshore pattern the whole time, leaving everything choppy and messy. A couple of moments look promising at first glance, but for the most part, we’re looking at a long, frustrating wait.
Your first real chance to get out is Monday, August 10th. That morning, Taft (Siltetz River) sees a solid 7ft swell from the WNW with moderate energy (769), but the wind is cross-onshore, and it’s gonna be a bumpy, rough ride. The report even says the swell's too big for this break, so with that wind, it’s going to be tough and ugly. Honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing session than a clean paddle.
After that, it's more of the same for another week. A few mornings have marginal tide conditions, but the wind kills any quality. The afternoon of Saturday, August 15th, sees the swell pump up to 8ft from the NNW with very strong energy (1153), but the cross-shore wind and the note that it's too big for the spot means only the experts with a thick wetsuit should even think about it. The following Sunday morning the 16th calms down to 6ft from the NW with a lighter cross-onshore breeze, but it's still nowhere near clean. And fair warning, the water temp is running much colder than normal for this time of year, so bring the big rubber.
There’s no standout session in this whole forecast. If you’re desperate, go for the early mornings when the wind is lightest, but expect chop. It’s a grim one.
