Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for The Wharf Lefts. We've got a long stretch of weak, messy conditions that just aren't gonna give us much to work with.
First up, the water temp is sitting right around 80°F with the anomaly only 1°F, so pretty average for this time of year. Nothing to write home about there.
Looking at the pattern, we're stuck in a persistent cross-offshore wind from the ENE, blowing at 15 to 22 mph pretty much every day. That constant breeze is just gonna keep the surface all chopped up, even though the wave comment says "clean". The waves themselves are tiny – we're talking 2 ft to 3 ft of swell from the SSW and S directions, but with combined energy readings mostly between 100 and 300, that's weak to moderate at best, and the period's often short (12–14 seconds). It's a long, flat run starting from Monday, July 6th and stretching all the way through to Saturday, July 18th. That's nearly two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, there's a slight glimmer right at the tail end. On Sunday, July 19th and into Monday, July 20th, we finally see the swell tick up just a touch to 2 ft–3 ft from the S, with combined energy hitting 329 on Monday morning. That's still moderate energy, and the period is around 13–14 seconds, so it's not going to be any kind of standout. The wind is still a cross-off from the ENE at 12–16 mph, and the conditions are described as "marginal." This is really the only half-decent window, and I'm calling it marginal because it's so far out – more than a week away, so take it with a grain of salt. The Wharf Lefts is a reef break that can handle a S swell, but the persistent wind and small size mean you’ll be fighting for scraps.
Honestly, if you're desperate, keep an eye on that Sunday, July 19th and Monday, July 20th, but don't hold your breath. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off. This is just one of those quiet periods where the ocean takes a nap.
Rusty.
