Alright folks, Rusty here with the straight goods. We’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead at 13th Ave South Surfside. No real swell to speak of for the next couple of weeks, so don’t bother clearing your schedule.
The action, if you can call it that, starts Monday, July 6th. Tiny 1ft SSE swell with a short 5 second period and weak energy (14). It’s a no-go. Tuesday’s morning sees a 2ft SSE swell but only 0.6m, and the wind is light cross-offshore, so it’s clean but barely breaking.
The highlight – and I use that term loosely – is Wednesday, July 8th. The morning brings a 3ft SSW swell with a 6 second period, energy of 83, and light cross-offshore winds keeping it glassy. It’s still a small, mushy wave, good for beginners, but definitely not a standout.
Thursday and Friday mornings are similar: clean, light winds, and knee-high surf. Friday morning actually has the best energy of the whole period at 124, with a 4ft S swell, but the 6 second period means it’s still gutless.
From Saturday, July 11th, all the way through to Tuesday, July 21st, it’s a desert. Most days show swell between 0.7ft and 2ft, with short periods and choppy onshore winds. The morning of Tuesday, July 14th has glassy conditions and a 2ft E swell, but the energy is weak (39) – nothing to ride.
If you’re a beginner wanting a safe paddle, Wednesday or Friday mornings are your best bets. For everyone else, it’s a solid 16-day wait. This is just how it goes here sometimes – forecasts can shift, but right now there’s not a wave worth rushing for.
Rusty.
