Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this 30th Street/Ship Bottom forecast is a bummer. For the next two weeks, it’s mostly flat with lousy wind.
The first week and a half is a total drought. The swell barely reaches 1 ft, and the wind is all over the place. There’s a huge gap with no surf worth mentioning. The water is at 77° right now, which is nearly 7° warmer than average for July – feels like a warm bath, but it doesn’t help the waves.
Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are useless – we’re talking about 0.5 ft to 0.7 ft of weak swell with onshore wind. Just straight-up choppy and poor.
Thursday morning the 9th gives you clean, offshore wind, but the swell is a tiny 0.5 ft. Same deal Friday the 10th. It’s clean, but you’re barely gonna get wet.
Then on Monday the 13th, the ocean finally shows some life. A pulse of energy brings 2 ft to 3 ft swell from the east. The combined energy hits 341, then 551 – that’s moderate to strong energy. But the wind is blowing a fresh 19 mph onshore, making it lumpy and nasty. For a beach break, that’s just a mess. It’d be way better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it’s right back to nothing. The 14th through the 21st is all tiny, weak waves. We get a glassy morning on Saturday the 18th, with almost no wind and 0.6 ft swell. That’s your best shot, but it’s a longboard-only kind of day, if that.
There are no standouts here, nothing to plan a session around. It’s a flat, long stretch. This sort of blank run happens in this area sometimes, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow. Forecasts can flip, but for now? Keep the wetsuit dry.
Rusty.
