The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Looking at the next sixteen days for the Grand Strand, and it's a real dry spell. The water's sitting at a balmy 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's the only thing working in our favor.
From now until the very end of July, it's dead. Absolutely nothing. The swell energy is pathetic, barely registering for most of it, and the wind is all over the place—side, side-on, choppy, lumpy. We're looking at a solid gap of over a week with no real rideable surf.
Things get a little interesting on the 31st of July, Friday afternoon. We get a tiny bump of about 3 ft from the SSW, with a clean, light offshore breeze from the north. The wave energy finally climbs—still weak, but it's something. The conditions are clean, but the waves are still labeled as very ordinary. It's a tiny window for a small board.
Then we roll into the first week of August. Saturday the 1st looks like the best we're going to get, and even then, it's a stretch. In the afternoon, we get a pathetic 2 ft SSE swell, but the wind goes glassy. That's right, glassy. It's the cleanest it will be in the whole forecast. The wave energy is still weak, and the surf will be small and gutless, but if you're desperate for a paddle on a foamie, 13th Ave South Surfside might be worth a look. Don't expect any power.
After that, it's back to garbage. Nothing over 2 ft for the next week, with onshore winds and more chop. It's a blank run, plain and simple.
So, for the standout: It's got to be that Saturday the 1st of August afternoon at 13th Ave South Surfside. The swell direction from the SSE isn't ideal, and 2 ft is tiny, but glassy wind is glassy wind. That's the one session in the whole 16 days that might feel like actual surfing, even if it's just ankle-biters.
Rusty.
