The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for The Wharf Lefts over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, straight up, this isn't the most inspiring outlook I've seen. We've got a small, clean groundswell on the radar for late July, but after that, it's a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions. The best of the bunch is shaping up for Wednesday the 29th, but even that's more about quality than size. Get ready for a real dry spell after that.

We kick things off on Sunday the 26th with a solid 3ft SSW groundswell rolling in. Period's a juicy 16 seconds, so there's proper energy in the water – you can feel the pulse (combined energy around 544). The wind is a cross-off from the ENE at 19 mph, keeping things reasonably clean, but the call is marginal surf with questionable tides. It's not a write-off, but you gotta pick your moment.

Monday the 27th sees the swell shift to the east at 3ft, still with a nice long 14-second period. The combined energy is actually pumping up a notch to 591 by the afternoon. The cross-off ENE wind hangs around at 16 mph, so it's clean, but again, the tide is gonna be the decider. It's surfable, just not firing on all cylinders.

Now, Wednesday the 29th is the standout. We've got a small 2ft SSW swell with a solid 14-second period, but the wind is the story here. First up, a glassy 3 mph from the NE in the morning, then flat calm in the afternoon with some clouds. That's about as clean as it gets. The waves will be tiny, but for a longboard or a funboard, you could have some of the most perfect, glassy little runners all to yourself. Don't expect much power, but expect beauty. The combined energy is around 215.

Thursday the 30th still has some small 2ft S swell, 14-second period, but the wind turns to a cross-shore in the morning and a cross-off in the afternoon. It's still clean, but the magic of Wednesday is gone. The tide will be the key.

That's about it for the good windows, folks. From Friday the 31st of July right through to Saturday the 9th of August, it's a pretty grim run. We're looking at tiny, 1ft to 2ft swells with persistent strong ENE winds. The combined energy drops to under 100 at times (97 on the 2nd of August morning), so it's weak. The calls are all "poor surf conditions". You'd be fighting an onshore breeze for virtually nothing.

Even by the 9th and 10th of August, we see the swell try to pick up to 2ft from the SSW and W, but the wind is still howling cross-off from the ENE at 16 mph, and the call remains poor. There's just no getting away from that wind in this outlook.

So, to sum it up: if you're hungry for a wave, your best bet is the glassy windows on Wednesday the 29th of July. It'll be small and clean, perfect for a mellow session. After that, the forecast looks pretty bleak for a couple of weeks. It’s a proper lull.

Rusty.
