The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown for Taft (Siltetz River) in feet and miles per hour.
To be honest, this forecast is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is mostly a bust. We kick off with a few days of absolutely nothing, and the first time you might even think about paddling out is Thursday the 16th, and even then, it’s a long shot.
If I had to pick the best moment, it’s Friday the 17th in the morning. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell coming out of the WNW, with a 17-second period – that’s real groundswell, so the waves will have some shape, but you’ll be waiting a long time between sets. The wind is light at 6 mph from the WSW, blowing onshore but light enough that it might be clean. The combined energy is 743 (moderate), but it’s still a small wave.
That Friday morning session is your standout, and it’s not much of a standout. After that, it’s mostly cross-on breezes and weak, short-period slop. By Sunday the 19th, the swell gets a bit bigger, hitting 6ft, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is howling at 16 mph from the NNW, cross-shore. That’s gonna be a choppy, blown-out mess – better for kites than surfboards.
From the 22nd onward, it all drops off to tiny 2ft swells from the SW with no decent wind. The last week of July is essentially flat.
So, honestly, your only real window is that Friday the 17th morning. It’s small and inconsistent, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. Otherwise, there’s not much to write home about.
Rusty.
