The Lowdown
Gather 'round, folks. Rusty here. Lookin' at the charts for Tices Sholls, and well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud, with no proper surf to get excited about. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin' at 75°, but that's small comfort when the waves are flat and the wind is all wrong.
The finder is basically empty. We're lookin' at a long, dry spell starting right now and runnin' through most of the period. The swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (like 39 to 79), and the direction is all over the place from the southeast, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, tearin' the surface apart. It's just not happenin'.
There's a tiny flicker of hope on the 4th of August, Tuesday afternoon. The wind goes glassy, the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the southeast, but the energy is only 45. It's labeled "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." Honestly, that's the best we've got. You'd be fightin' for dribbles.
Then, on the 7th of August, Friday, we see a bit more size. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the SSW, with a short period of 7 seconds, and the energy jumps to 293. The wind goes cross-offshore, which is clean, but it's still described as "marginal surf forecast." It might be a bit lumpy and unruly for a beginner spot like this, and the short period means it won't have much shape.
So, what's the call? The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Friday the 7th of August. The swell is 5 ft from the SSW, with a cross-offshore wind, so it'll be the cleanest we see. But it's a sandbar, and with that short period, expect it to be a bit of a bumpy mess. Don't expect a classic session. The rest of the time? You're better off findin' something else to do. The forecast is bleak, but it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty, out.
