The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about the next sixteen days at 30th Street/Ship Bottom.
It’s a rough run. The first week and a half is basically a desert. Swell is tiny, wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf quality is just plain poor. You’ll be waiting a long time for anything decent.
The only real chance comes on Monday, the 3rd of August. The morning shows a clean 5ft SSE swell. The combined energy is moderate at 290, with a period of 8 seconds. That light offshore wind in the morning could make it worthwhile, but expect crowds. The water is a touch warmer than average for the time of year, at 76°.
After that, it’s back to choppy and messy. Save your energy for that Monday morning session. Nothing else is worth chasing.
Rusty signing off.
