Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in the old measurements.
Looking at the next two weeks, it’s mostly flat and frustrating. There’s a big gap of days where you wouldn’t bother walking down the beach. From the 8th through the 14th of July, it’s all poor conditions – tiny swell, cross-off winds that keep the surface clean but don’t give you any real waves. The combined energy sits between 208 and 353, so moderate at best. Nothing worth chasing.
The first real glimmer shows up on Wednesday the 15th of July. The Wharf Lefts gets a little bump – swell around 2ft to 2ft from the west, but with a long period of 15 seconds. That’s groundswell, and the energy jumps to strong territory, peaking at 538. The wind is still cross-off from the ENE at 25 km/h, so you’ll get clean lines. This is your best bet for the whole outlook – a proper reef break that’ll handle that long period nicely. Keep it in mind for the afternoon session.
After that, Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th slide back into poor surf. The swell drops off, energy goes back to the 200s-300s, and while the breeze holds, there’s just not enough push. Late in the window, around the 21st and 22nd, there’s a few more marginal days with east swell around 2ft and 13-14 second periods, but again, it’s borderline.
Bottom line: if you’re surfing, mark Wednesday the 15th. The rest is a lot of waiting. Things can change, but right now, it’s a quiet period.
Rusty.
