Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Tamarack Ave.
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating for us. We're in for a long, quiet spell. There's nothing worth getting excited about until the second weekend.
The water's sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels nice, but it's not helping the waves. That south swell energy is weak, hovering between 400 and 500 (moderate combined energy) early on, but it's messy. The wind is mostly coming from the west or southwest, keeping conditions choppy or cross-onshore. The swell is small, between 2ft and 3ft, and while the period is decent at 14-18 seconds, it's a long-period groundswell that's mostly getting blocked or blown out. The first whole week... total write-off. Scores are zeroes and ones.
Things finally get a little interesting on Sunday, July 12th. For the afternoon, the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the west, and the water goes flat calm. The swell is only 3ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, but with those conditions, it'll be clean. The combined energy is still moderate at 363. It's not epic, but it's the best you'll get.
Looking further out, the second week is even more disappointing. From Monday, July 13th right through to Saturday, July 18th, the swell drops to a dismal 1ft to 2ft, and the energy stays low. There's a tiny spike in energy on Saturday afternoon the 18th, with the combined energy hitting 500, but it's still a tiny 2ft SSW swell and onshore wind. Not worth paddling out for. This is going to be a tough stretch of flatness.
Rusty.
