Table - best surf conditions forecast for 30th Street/Ship Bottom over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – the next week and a half at 30th Street/Ship Bottom is looking pretty bleak. The surf is flat and tiny right through to the 22nd of July, with most days offering nothing but knee-high slop. The water temperature is a balmy 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s fine for a swim.
Around the 23rd of July we see a little life, with a bump to about 5ft from the east and the wave energy pushing into the moderate range. The wind is cross-onshore though, so it’ll be a bumpy mess. That holds through the 24th, with similar size but still no clean wind.
The only real shot at something with some punch is the morning of the 25th of July. We get a 4ft swell from the southeast, but the big tell is the period jumping to 10 seconds and the combined energy going nuclear at 528 (very strong). That’s a lot of power. But the northeast wind is blowing at 15 mph, cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy and lumpy. Not the cleanest, but if you’re hungry for some grunt, that’s your window. Later that day and into the 26th, it fades back off.
There’s no dream day here with glassy, offshore wind on a solid wave. For what it’s worth, that Saturday morning on the 25th is your best bet for some raw, powerful surf, even if it isn’t pretty. Beginners should stay out of that – 4ft swell with that much energy is for the experienced crew. Hopefully the next forecast run brings better news.
