Hey, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I've got to be straight with you – it's looking pretty bleak. We're staring down a long, quiet run with pretty much nothing to get excited about. The good news is, the only break with any data, Terry's Cove, is a sandbar setup that's fairly consistent, so this kind of blank stretch is more about the area than the spot itself. Forecasts can change.
Alright, let's look at the window. For the first week, from Sunday the 5th of July right through to the end of the weekend on the 12th of July, we've got junk. It's all tiny dribble, 0.3ft to 2ft from the SW or S. Most of that time the wind is messy – cross, cross-on, or cross-off – and combined energy is pathetic, often below 10. The water temp is sitting at 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not that it matters when there's no waves to enjoy.
The second week doesn't offer any hope either. From Monday the 13th of July to the Monday the 20th of July, it's more of the same tiny, weak slop. The only thing that changes is the wind gets real nasty. On Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th of July, we see a pulse of swell – 2ft from the S with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy touching 120 – but the wind is absolutely howling from the WSW at 25 to 34 mph. It's cross-shore and messy. That sort of setup at a sandbar like Terry's Cove isn't for paddling; it's looking way more interesting for kite surfing than for a surf.
So the summary? There are no standout sessions. No best on offer. If you're desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows might be the very light offshore from the N on Wednesday the 15th of July morning, or the cross-off winds on the 12th and 20th of July, but the waves are still ankle-biters. Honestly, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
