The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for Tices Sholls. Let’s call it like it is – we’re staring down a long, lean stretch. For the next 9 or 10 days, the surf is mostly flat, weak, or messy. The water is a warm 76°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s nice to be out there, but you’ll be floating, not riding.
Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are total washouts – tiny swell, bad wind. On Saturday afternoon the wind goes glassy and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the south, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the wave energy is weak at 67 – surfable, but very ordinary.
Sunday the 19th is a bit better: clean conditions in the morning with a cross-offshore breeze, 3ft S swell at 7 seconds (81 energy). Still nothing special, but at least it’s clean. Sunday afternoon stays glassy with similar size.
Monday the 20th through until Wednesday the 22nd morning is mostly poor. Then Wednesday the 22nd morning brings a real change: 7ft from the south, 8 second period, and strong energy at 1022. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore at 30 km/h – it’s clean but that size is for experienced surfers. The afternoon goes offshore, also 30 km/h, with 5ft S swell and 347 energy. It’s the best looking window of the whole forecast, but it’s still marginal and big.
From the 23rd right through to the start of August, it’s back to tiny, weak surf with mostly onshore or cross winds. There’s a little moment on Saturday the 25th morning – glassy, 3ft from the SSW, 158 energy – surfable but very ordinary. And again on Wednesday the 29th morning: offshore wind, 1ft from the east, 10 second period (65 energy). Clean but tiny.
The swell direction just never matches the southeast optimum. The only standout is Wednesday the 22nd, with that bigger south swell and clean wind – that’s your go if you’re experienced and patient. The rest of the 16 days is a long gap of flat or poor conditions. Not much to get excited about.
Rusty.
