Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. There are long gaps with hardly anything worth paddling out for, so patience is the name of the game.
Right now, the surf is basically flat and messy. We’re looking at a big dry spell from Monday, July 6th all the way through to Wednesday, July 15th. That’s over a week of nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The swell is small – mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft – and the periods are short, under 8 seconds, meaning no real push. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, chopping up what little bump there is. The combined wave energy is pathetic, barely cracking 50 most days (13 to 79 range). Honestly, if you’re not a kite surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about. Even the “clean” mornings are just flat with no real swell.
There’s a tiny glimmer early on Wednesday, July 8th morning, and again Thursday, July 9th morning, with a bit of clean surf and the swell nudging up to 3 ft, but the energy is weak (79 and 67) and it’s just ordinary conditions. Not worth rushing out for.
Now, after that long, dry wait, we finally get a pulse of energy on Thursday, July 16th. The morning shows some promise at 13th Ave South Surfside. Swell picks up to 4 ft from the S, with the period hanging around 6 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to a moderate 115. Winds are a clean cross-off, so the surface should be tidy. It’s still not a standout by any means, but it’s the best we’ve seen in two weeks. Keep in mind this spot is inconsistent and the swell direction is from the S, not the optimum SE, so the waves might be a bit closed out. Afternoon looks surfable too, with 3 ft and light winds. For the rest of that week and into the next, it fades back to small ankle-biters.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, Thursday, July 16th morning is the only window I’d even consider. But it’s a beginner-level wave at best, and the crowds could show up since it’s sometimes busy. For anyone else, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast. I wish I had better news, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
Rusty.
