G’day, I’m Rusty. Here’s the same look at Tarcoola (Chanteez) in feet and Fahrenheit.
This southwest-facing spot is for the advanced crew, fairly consistent. The water’s at 68°F, which is a bit colder than normal – about 1°F below the long-term average, so keep that wetsuit close.
Friday morning, 3 July, kicks off with a 7ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph. Clean surf with strong energy (1881). This is over 5ft, so beginners stay out – but for the advanced surfer, it’s excellent. The crowds are ‘sometimes’ possible. Friday afternoon drops to 6ft with a light SE breeze at 6 mph, cross-offshore, still clean.
Saturday morning, 4 July, is smaller at 5ft, but Saturday afternoon shines: 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period – a long-period groundswell – and a light NE breeze at 6 mph, cross-offshore, clean. Energy is 1949, strong. This is the best window on offer.
Sunday, 5 July, is marginal: 4ft in the morning, 4ft in the afternoon, with cross-shore winds. Not worth it. Monday morning, 6 July, bounces back: 6ft SW swell, 15 seconds, light ESE wind at 9 mph, cross-offshore, clean, 1506 energy. Good for experienced surfers. Monday afternoon hits 8ft with a 16-second period – expert only.
Tuesday, 7 July, is massive: 8ft SW swell both sessions, 16 seconds, energy readings over 3288 – very strong. Only for experts. Wednesday, 8 July, is 6ft with a 15-second period, light offshore in the morning, clean. Solid. Thursday, 9 July, holds at 6ft, 14 seconds, light NNE breeze, clean, 1249 energy.
Then Friday, 10 July, through Saturday, 11 July, is a loss: strong southerly winds up to 22 mph, lumpy, poor conditions. Swell drops to 5ft then 3ft with a very long 21-second period but messy.
Sunday, 12 July, returns with a 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds, moderate cross-offshore wind, clean, and 2570 energy – expert territory. Monday, 13 July, and Tuesday, 14 July, are moderate at 5ft, clean but not standouts. Wednesday morning, 15 July, has strong offshore winds and small 4ft swell – poor. Wednesday afternoon has a 3ft WSW swell, 13 seconds, offshore, but weak.
Thursday, 16 July, is a write-off: tiny 2ft swell with a 20-second period, then 4ft with a 19-second period, onshore wind, choppy. Friday, 17 July, finishes big: 7ft to 8ft SW swell, 16 seconds, cross-offshore wind, clean, 2512 to 2784 energy – expert only. Saturday, 18 July, is rainy and onshore, 7ft to 7ft, choppy, poor.
Best bets: Friday morning and Saturday afternoon, 4 July, and Monday and Thursday mornings. The rest is for the brave or the patient.
Rusty.
