The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days look like a real struggle. We’ve got a flat spell coming in that’s gonna last a good while, so don’t get your hopes up for anything rideable.
Looking at the only spot on the radar, Terry’s Cove, it’s a sandbar setup that’s fairly consistent, but not this time around. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The forecast starts off on Thursday, July 23rd, with a bit of swell around 5 ft from the SSW, but it’s a short period 7-second windswell with a moderate onshore breeze from the SSE. That’s a mess – the combined energy is only 359 (moderate), but the wind is just ruining it. Forget it.
Friday the 24th, the swell drops to a tiny 1.0 ft from the SSW. The morning is glassy and calm, but there’s barely a ripple. The afternoon gets worse with a cross-onshore wind.
From Saturday the 25th all the way through to the end of the first week, the swell is virtually non-existent. We’re talking 0.3 ft to 1 ft at best, with periods of 3 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is pathetic, dropping into the low single digits. There are a few clean, cross-offshore mornings, but with waves that small, you’re just floating. It’s not surfable.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday, August 3rd, through to Friday, August 7th, we see more of the same: flat conditions, or tiny windswell that’s barely a bump. The combined energy stays in the low single digits or zero. There’s a couple of glassy mornings, but no swell to go with them.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout day here. The best you can hope for is a clean, flat ocean. This is a long, blank run. For this area, it’s a normal dry spell, and forecasts can always change, but right now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
