Taylors Mistake Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right now, things are pretty quiet. The swell we’ve got is a bit weak and the energy is modest, at best. We’re looking at *Taylors Mistake* as the main spot, but don't get too excited just yet. The water temp is sitting at 51°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing wild.

Tuesday morning (July 7th) is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a 5ft easterly swell, but the wind is a light cross-shore, so it's messy. The energy’s only around 383. It’s not worth stressing over. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings cross-offshore and it cleans right up. That 5ft east swell starts looking better, and the energy stays moderate at 369. It's surfable, but not a standout.

Wednesday morning (July 8th) is the real winner of this early run. The swell height is still 5ft from the east, but the period bumps up to 11 seconds, which gives it more shape and push. The energy hits 534, and with that light cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean. This is a good session for a beginner-friendly wave, but with that longer period, it might wrap in a little better than usual. Wednesday afternoon sees the wind shift onshore a bit, making it choppier, so morning is definitely the call.

Thursday morning (July 9th) is another solid one. The swell nudges up to 5ft from the east with an 11-second period. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it stays clean, and the energy is moderate at 584. It’s a decent option.

Things taper off from Friday (July 10th) through the weekend. The swell drops below 4ft by Friday afternoon and keeps fading. By Saturday afternoon (July 11th), it gets glassy but tiny, with only 3ft of east swell and energy down to 146. It’s skinny out there. Sunday (July 12th) we’re looking at onshore wind and waves dropping to 2ft. There’s a real lull here for the next several days.

From Monday (July 13th) through to Wednesday (July 15th), it’s pretty flat. Swell heights are under 3ft, periods are short, and the energy is weak. There’s nothing to get excited about. This is a proper gap with no real surf on offer.

Now, looking further ahead, Thursday morning (July 16th) we see a pulse of swell coming back. It’s 4ft from the east, but the period is a long 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the energy jumps to 601. The wind is clean, cross-offshore, so it’ll be glassy. This is the best looking window in the second week. It’s still a couple of weeks away, so keep an eye on it.

Saturday (July 18th) brings the biggest swell of the forecast: 6ft to 6ft from the ESE, with energy rocketing up to 1960 and 1426. That’s some serious power. The period drops to 11-14 seconds, so it’s a mix. The wind stays cross-offshore, but at 16 mph, it’ll be a bit lumpy. This is a more powerful, expert-friendly wave. Not for the faint-hearted.

Sunday morning (July 19th) is the real highlight of the whole outlook. 5ft from the ESE with a 12-second period, light offshore wind, and energy at 694. The conditions are clean, the waves have shape, and it’s not as massive as Saturday. This is the best session on offer, hands down. After that, the swell fades quickly through Monday and Tuesday (July 20-21st), with onshore winds and dropping energy.

Overall, the first week is a slow burn with a few clean, small days. The second week has a couple of stronger pulses, especially Sunday July 19th. Keep your eyes peeled.

Rusty.
