The Spot Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for The Spot.

The Spot is a beach and reef setup, and it's fairly consistent, so there's always a chance if you're keen. The water is sitting at 72°, which is about average for this time of year.

Sunday, July 19th is a bit of a write-off. We've got a 4ft SSE swell at 12 seconds, but that cross-onshore breeze messes it up. It’s pretty marginal.

Monday, July 20th is where it gets interesting. The morning session is the standout of the early week. We've got a clean 7ft SSE swell, with a cross-offshore wind. The swell energy is solid (1300), and it's a good size. It's a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it's going to be a fun one. The afternoon fades a bit with the wind turning cross-on.

Tuesday, July 21st through Wednesday, July 22nd is a total loss. The wind is straight onshore and blowing hard. Don't bother.

Thursday, July 23rd gets a bit of a reprieve. A fresh offshore SSW wind cleans up a 8ft swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it's going to be a bit of a bumpy, weak wave. The energy is only moderate (595). It's a session for the shortboarders who just need to get wet.

Friday, July 24th morning is a hidden gem. A light cross-offshore wind and a clean 5ft S swell at 11 seconds. The conditions are described as "very good," and the energy is reasonable (608). This is a solid option for a fun, clean session before the afternoon wind spoils it.

Then we hit a long dry spell. From Saturday, July 25th all the way through to Thursday, July 31st, it's mostly onshore winds and poor conditions. A few windows pop up on the 28th with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is small and weak.

Friday, August 1st is the big one. The morning session is the absolute best of the whole forecast. We're looking at a 10ft SSE swell with a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is massive (4514). This is a serious, powerful swell. It's for experts only, no question. The SSE swell direction is right on the money for The Spot's optimum. This is a day to have your best board ready.

Saturday, August 2nd is a no-go, with strong onshore winds.

Sunday, August 3rd morning is a nice little finisher. A glassy morning with a small 4ft SE swell. It's a very weak energy (383), but the glassy conditions will make it super clean and fun on a longboard or a fish.

So, the two real standouts are Monday, July 20th morning for a solid, clean swell, and Friday, August 1st morning for a massive, powerful session for the experts. The rest of the window is a mix of marginal conditions and a long stretch of poor surf.
