The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Strap in, ’cause it’s gonna be a flat spell for a while.
The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Tices Sholls, with the first real chance of a wave not showing up until Thursday the 3rd. The water’s running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a little bonus, but you won’t be needing a thick suit. The energy in the water is weak, with combined swell energy values mostly in the 20s and 30s, just not enough push.
That Thursday the 3rd is about as good as it gets in this whole window. We’re looking at a clean 3ft of ESE groundswell with a 9-second period, so it’s got a little bit of shape to it. The wind’s off the land in the morning, making for some clean surfaces, and it goes light and off-shore in the afternoon. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, so it’s not going to be challenging, but for a small day, it could be fun. The energy is weak at 96, so don’t expect any real power, but it’s something. Expect some crowds, as it’s a spot that sees its fair share of folks on any rideable day.
After that, it falls off a cliff again. The 4th and 5th have tiny, weak surf, and the 6th brings in a lumpy, cross-onshore breeze that’s just messy. There’s a brief spike on Tuesday the 8th when the swell jumps to 5ft, but it’s a short-period, wind-blown mess from the SSW, with 30 km/h cross-shore winds and choppy conditions. That’s not for surfing, that’s for kites.
Following that, we’re back to small and ordinary for days. Towards the end of the window, on the 16th, there’s a small but clean ESE swell at 3ft with a 6-second period, and on the morning of the 17th, it’s 3ft. Still nothing to write home about, but a sign things might be trying to turn around.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, Thursday the 3rd is your day. It’s all we got. Everything else is a bust.
