Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the outlook for Tandjung-Lefts.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty bleak 16-day stretch ahead for this advanced reef break. The main problem is a persistent cross-onshore easterly wind that just won’t quit, ruining what could be some solid, consistent SSW groundswell. The water temp is about 82°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Starting Wednesday, July 8th, we have a decent 6ft to 6ft SSW swell (combined wave energy is 1789) with a nice 15-second period. But with 16 mph cross-onshore winds from the ESE, the surface is choppy and messy. Score is zero. That pattern pretty much holds all week: the swell stays in the 5ft to 6ft range, the period stays long (14-16 seconds), but the wind stays cross-on or worse. Friday morning, July 10th, we even get rain showers and 19 mph onshore winds – not a pleasant paddle.
The swell drops off sharply on Saturday afternoon, July 11th, down to 3ft, and stays small and choppy through to Monday, July 13th. There is a weird blip on Monday afternoon with a tiny 2ft swell but a very long 21-second period, giving combined energy of 780. Still, the cross-on wind messes it up.
We see another pulse of SSW swell around Tuesday, July 14th and Wednesday, July 15th, with size back up to 5ft to 6ft and long periods (16-18 seconds). Wave energy hits 2239 on Tuesday afternoon – strong energy. But again, the wind is fresh cross-onshore at 16-19 mph, making it lumpy. No good.
The only glimmer of light comes on the morning of Monday, July 20th, when the score hits a 2 out of 10. The swell is 6ft from the SSW with a 16-second period and wave energy of 2005. The wind is still cross-on, but lighter at 9 mph, called a "gentle breeze." It’s still fairly choppy, but less messy than the rest. That’s your best bet, and it’s still a marginal call. For a break that’s usually consistent, this is a long, frustrating stretch.
Given the steady cross-onshore wind and reef setup, a kitesurfer might find this interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s mostly a write-off.
Stay patient.
