Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pike.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a flat spell for a long stretch. The first real surf I can see on the cards doesn’t show up until Saturday the 18th, and even then it’s a bit of a wait. We’re looking at a solid gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for. The conditions are persistently poor, with small, weak, and messy waves dominating the charts. It’s the kind of run that’ll have you cleaning your wax and checking your fins more than actually using them.
The one flicker of light comes late on Saturday the 18th. 30th Street/Ship Bottom might finally see a pulse. The swell picks up to about 5 ft, coming out of the South, with a wind state that’s cross-offshore and clean. The combined energy jumps to 248 (moderate wave energy), which is the most we’ve seen in the whole outlook. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell with any real grunt, but it’s something. It’s a beach break, and with that size, it’s in that zone where it could be a bit much for beginners but fun for the rest of us. The wind is moderate, keeping it clean, which is a major positive. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have company.
The water’s sitting at 77°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’ll feel like a warm bath. The rest of the window after that? We’re back to the same old story: small, poor surf, with onshores or cross-shore winds messing up any potential. It’s a tough outlook, but it can change quickly.
Rusty.
