The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through this same stretch in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a flat spell for Tices Sholls. The next couple of weeks are looking grim for a proper paddle. You’ve got a long, quiet run from the 16th all the way through the 25th. The surf is just not happening. Winds are mostly onshore or from the side, and the wave heights are rarely pushing 3 feet. That combined energy is mostly in the 30s and 40s – that’s weak, barely any push at all. It’s wind chop, not surf.
The one day you’d even bother checking is Monday the 17th of August. That morning we get a northwest offshore breeze at only 6 mph, so it’ll be glassy. The swell is small, though – only 4 feet, and it’s a short 6-second period, so it won’t have any grunt. The combined energy is still a low 89. It’s clean, but you’re riding ankle-biters. The afternoon holds the same offshore wind, dropping to 3 feet. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have a few locals out, but it won’t be crowded.
The second week sees the combined energy finally bump into the 100s, like Thursday the 27th hitting 124 in the morning and 115 in the afternoon, but that’s with a tiny 2-foot swell from the southeast and a long 12-second period. It’ll be clean with a cross-offshore wind, but for a beach break like this, that long-period groundswell is going to break too straight to be good.
From then on, it’s more of the same: small, lumpy, and onshore through the end of the month. If you’re into kiting, this might be your window, but for a surfer, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tices Sholls may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
