The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the next 16 days for this stretch, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run. We’re looking at Tices Sholls, and for the most part, the waves are either tiny, onshore, or just plain messy. There’s a real gap of nothing much happening from now through July 18th – a solid four or five days of rubbish. The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the 19th.
The standout window, and it’s a modest one, lands on Sunday, July 19th. The morning session is where you want to be. There’s a clean 4ft swell from the S, with a moderate offshore breeze from the WNW keeping things tidy. The combined energy is moderate (98). It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon sees a jump in size to 6ft from the SSW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 552 (strong). The wind goes light cross-off from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. That size is starting to push into the intermediate zone, but a few waves should be there.
For the rest of the run, it’s a write-off. The 20th has a bit of swell, but the wind is messy. Later in the week, from the 23rd, we get a spike in size – 7ft to 8ft from the E – but it’s accompanied by strong cross-shore winds and a risk of storms. The combined energy is 405 to 672 (strong to very strong), but with poor conditions, it’s honestly more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surfer’s paradise. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
In short, if you’re desperate, hit the 19th morning. Otherwise, hang tight – forecasts can change, but this one’s looking bleak.
