The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you: the 16-day forecast for Tices Sholls is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, with a real standout window right in the middle.
The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°, so that's a nice bonus if you're paddling out.
The first few days are a write-off. From Monday the 20th to Tuesday the 22nd, we’ve got a building swell but it’s all messy with cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 36 (weak) and 134 (moderate), but it’s just not clean. Don't bother.
The standout is the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd of July. The swell picks up to 7ft from the south, with a period of 8 seconds, and it’s a clean setup. The combined energy jumps to 1102 (strong), so there’s plenty of power. The wind goes cross-offshore, cleaning up the face. That’s your best shot. After that, the 23rd of July offers a glassy Thursday afternoon with a 4ft south-southeast swell, but it’s a very ordinary wave. The following days drop back into the doldrums with small, weak, and often choppy surf.
The early part of August brings a bit more size, but it’s again plagued by poor conditions. The morning of the 3rd of August has a 4ft swell with glassy conditions, but it's just surfable, nothing special. The 4th of August offers a small, clean wave with offshore winds, but it's just 3ft to 3ft.
So, the only real call here is Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July. That's the one to circle. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a rest period.
Rusty.
