The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here. We’re lookin’ at a real flat spell for Tices Sholls. The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off, so you can leave the board in the shed. We’ve got a solid 10-day gap from now until the 26th of July where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. The waves are small, the wind is messy, and it’s a proper struggle.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Sunday the 26th. We’ve got a pulse of swell from the S, with sets around 6ft and the wind is blowing offshore from the WNW. The energy is ramping up big time (523), and it’s looking pretty clean. This is about as good as it gets in this window. The swell period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that long-period punch, but it’s a morning session worth chasing.
For the beginners, that Sunday morning surf is pushing 6ft, which is getting a bit too much for a learner. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of onshore slop and cross-chop. Monday the 27th has some size, but it’s a messy cross-shore wind, and the energy is there but it’s not clean. The afternoon of the 28th of July turns ugly with a cross-offshore wind that’s too strong, making it choppy and poor. This spot is known for bein’ a bit inconsistent, and this forecast is a perfect example of a blank run.
My advice? Keep an eye on that Sunday the 26th morning. If you’re desperate, that’s your one shot. Otherwise, find something else to do.
Rusty.
