The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it. The next 16 days aren’t delivering much action here in the local area. To be blunt, the surf is flat for weeks on end. It’s a long, quiet period, with barely a ripple to speak of. There’s a gap from the start of the period right through to the end, with only one brief moment of something that looks vaguely surfable, but even that’s a stretch.
The first real moment of interest doesn’t pop up until Thursday afternoon, the 6th of August. The Wedge (Allenhurst) is showing a short, weak swell from the south at 5ft, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short-period wind swell, and the combined energy is only moderate (127). The wind is a fresh cross-shore from the south at 19 mph, which is going to chop it up and make it pretty lumpy. It’s not a pretty picture, and honestly, with that kind of shifty, messy wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 75°F, which is a small comfort.
The rest of the outlook is a ghost town. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, with periods so short they’re barely registering. The wind does go glassy or offshore a few times, like on Wednesday afternoon the 5th of August, and Saturday morning the 8th of August, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but there’s simply no swell to work with. The combined energy values are all in the single digits or low double digits (weak).
So, what’s the call? There’s no standout. The best of a very poor bunch is that Thursday afternoon buzz on the 6th, but even that’s a mess. Keep the board in the car and check the forecast again in a few days. It can’t stay this flat forever.
