The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Taft (Siltetz River) are looking pretty grim. The guidance says this spot is usually fairly consistent, but this forecast is a total blank run. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in the entire window from Sunday July 19 through to Monday August 3. The whole stretch is a write-off.
Let’s run through it anyway. Sunday July 19 starts with a 4.9 ft NW swell, short period of 7 seconds, and a cross wind from the NNW at 12 mph. Combined energy is moderate (516), but the wave comment is “marginal” and the score is a 1. Not a chance. That same pattern sticks around for Monday July 20 – 5.2 ft NW, 8 seconds, cross-on wind, still only a 2 at best. Energy ticks up a bit (610 Monday morning) but the quality is poor.
Tuesday July 21 sees a tiny 2.3 ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, but the wind is cross-on and the waves are rated poor. Wednesday July 22 has a 2.0 ft SW groundswell (14 seconds) with onshore wind – again, don’t bother. The rest of the first week (July 23–26) is a mix of small NW or SW swells, mostly cross-on breezes, and scores of 0 or 1. The only faint glimmer is Sunday July 26 morning and afternoon: a 2.6 ft SW groundswell (20 seconds), light onshore wind, and a score of 2. Still marginal, and the combined energy (637, 627) is moderate, but that long period would be better suited to a point or reef – not a river mouth. And it’s tiny.
The second week (July 27–August 3) is more of the same. Monday July 27 morning has a 2.6 ft SW groundswell (18 seconds) with light onshore wind and a score of 2 – the best of
