The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, but the first couple of days are a bit of a write-off. The action really kicks off proper on Sunday morning, July 19th. The overall pattern sees a good, consistent SW groundswell pulse rolling in, with a few standout windows of clean, glassy conditions that any surfer would be frothing on.
The star of the show is The Wash Right. This reef break is exposed to the south, and it’s going to be the go-to. The water temp is sitting at 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath, so leave the wetsuit at home.
Right, let’s run through it. The first real chance comes on Sunday morning, July 19th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SW with a long 17-second period, packing a punch (1022 combined energy). The wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive. The waves will be clean, lined up, and the longer period will make paddling out a breeze. It’s a standout, but it’s a solid size for a reef, so it’s one for the experienced crew.
Monday morning, July 20th is another beauty. Glassy conditions again, with a 4ft SW swell at 16 seconds (1095 energy). The Wash Right will be reeling off those long, clean walls. This is the best on offer for the first week. Get it while it’s good.
Tuesday morning, July 21st is still good with a 4ft SW swell (696 energy) and a clean cross-offshore wind. The quality drops off in the afternoons through the week as the wind swings onshore, but the mornings are where it’s at.
Moving into the second week, things get bigger and more powerful. Monday morning, July 27th sees a bigger 6ft swell from the SSW (2119 energy) with clean cross-offshore winds. This is a big, powerful groundswell with a 16-second period. It’s a solid push of energy, but at 6ft, it’s stepping into expert territory, especially on a reef. The sets will be well-spaced, but the waves will be thick and heavy.
The real heavy hitter for the experts looks like Tuesday morning, July 28th. A 7ft SSW swell (2654 energy) is on the cards, with glassy conditions. That’s a serious amount of water moving. This is for the experienced crew only. The swell is over 8ft, making it strictly for the big-wave hunters.
After that, we’ve got a few more clean mornings on Thursday, July 30th (5ft, 1440 energy) and Friday, August 1st, but the size and consistency start to fade. The final weekend (August 2nd) is a write-off with onshore winds and small, weak waves. So, get your sessions in the first week and the early part of the second week.
