Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles.
Let’s be honest, this is a tough run. From Sunday the 5th right through the first week, The Wharf Lefts is seeing steady groundswell, but the wind is blowing 18 to 22 mph from the ENE, which is cross-off for this spot. That wind is just ruining the surface. The swell is small, 3 ft down to 2 ft, with a long period of 18 seconds dropping to 12 seconds. The combined energy reads between 497 and 104 – moderate – but it’s all “poor surf conditions.” You’d be wasting your time.
The water’s about 80°, normal for this time of year.
That first six days? Nothing. A long, dry gap.
Then Wednesday the 15th of July shows a tiny glimmer. That morning, the wind drops to 12 mph from the ENE, still cross-off, but the swell comes up a little to 2 ft from the W with a 16-second period. The combined energy climbs to 500 – the strongest in the forecast. They call it “marginal,” meaning if the tide is right you might get a few slow, grinding waves. But it’s a one-shot deal; that afternoon it’s back to poor. That Wednesday morning is your best bet, but it’s more than a week out, so keep it on the radar, not the calendar.
After that, it fades to 1 ft with energy under 150. Not worth the walk.
The standout? That Wednesday 15 July morning. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, but it *sometimes* gets crowded, so expect a few heads if the conditions line up. The W swell isn’t the ideal S direction the spot wants, but with that long 16-second period, there’ll be some push. Intermediates only – the reef is no joke. Beginners should give this whole stretch a miss.
A long, quiet outlook with one uncertain chance. Check back later.
Rusty.
