Alright, Rusty here. Let's break this down.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a real bust. We're talking a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf with dodgy wind. Over the full 16 days, there’s nothing that jumps out as a good wave. The combined swell energy barely shows a pulse for most of it, with the biggest number being a moderate 62 right at the tail end.
It starts on Friday the 10th of July with a tiny 0.2m SSE swell at 7 seconds, and it’s cross-on and choppy. And that’s the story. The whole first week is a grind of small, weak swell, mostly under 2ft, with periods under 6 seconds. The wind is nearly always cross or onshore, chopping up the surface. We get a glassy moment on Tuesday morning the 21st, but with less than 1ft of wave, it’s a non-starter. The water sits at a very warm 88° at Terry’s Cove, which is much warmer than usual, but that’s about all we’ve got going.
Things try to get going by Wednesday the 22nd, with a 2ft to 3ft SSW pulse, but the cross-wind keeps it ugly. The combined energy climbs to around 51, but the quality is poor. The cleanest conditions we see are on Friday the 24th of July, with a 4ft SW swell and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the WNW. Even then, the period is a short 5 seconds, so it’ll be weak and junky. That’s as close as we get to a session, and it’s still a no-go. The whole thing fades back to flat after that.
So there you go. A long, flat, frustrating 16 days. Nothing to get the heart pumping. It happens, but forecasts have a way of turning around. Keep watching.
Rusty.
