Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards. For Tenby (South Beach), we’ve got a pretty quiet picture overall. It’s a sheltered spot, mostly taking a south-west swell, and it’s a beginner-friendly wave that’s fairly consistent. But, honestly, for the next two weeks, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for most of it. The best chance of a surf is right at the start, and after that, it’s going to be lean – real lean.
Kicking off on Thursday the 2nd of July, the morning has just about the only proper surf we’ll see in this window. We’ve got a 6ft swell coming from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 385, but it’s the wind that makes it work – a clean, offshore NW breeze at 12 mph. It’ll be a bit choppy, but it’s the best on offer. If you’re a beginner, that’s right on the limit at 6ft, so it’ll be a good challenge. The water temp is 64°, which is much warmer than normal for here, so no need for a thick wetsuit. The afternoon drops off a touch to 5ft, but the wind stays offshore, so it’ll still be clean and fun.
After Thursday, the quality falls away fast. Friday, the 3rd, has a 3ft swell but the wind swings onshore in the morning, turning it messy. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 3ft and weak. From Saturday the 4th all the way through to Wednesday the 15th of July, it’s grim. The swell drops to tiny – 2ft or less – and the winds are mostly cross-off or onshore, but there’s just not enough energy to bother with. The combined energy readings are all under 100, which is weak. You’d be chasing shadows.
There is a tiny flicker on Wednesday the 15th with a 1.0ft WSW swell and a light offshore wind, but that’s a knee-high dribble at best, and only if you’re desperate. From the 11th to the 17th, there’s a long, long period swell arriving – over 15 seconds – but it’s only 0.3ft of height. That kind of groundswell needs a good bank to stand up on, and with that little push, it’s a no-show. The wind is mostly clean, but you need something to ride.
So, the standout is that Thursday morning. Get out there if you can. After that, it’s a two-week wait with almost nothing to ride. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. Don’t hold your breath.
