The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checking in.
Well, truth be told, it's a quiet stretch ahead for our local waters. There's really no standout swell on the cards, and a lot of the time the winds are just messy. We've got a long, flat run to start things off, and the occasional bump of energy gets torn apart by cross-shore winds. The best I can say is that the first week of August looks like a write-off for any decent waves. You'll be waiting a while for anything rideable.
Looking at the calendar, the first real chance of anything surfable pops up on Monday, August 10th. We get a bit of a bump, a 4 ft swell from the SSW. The period is only 7 seconds which is a bit short and weak, but for once we get a light offshore wind from the SW (15 km/h). That should keep things clean, which is a major positive after all this chop. The combined energy hits a moderate 240 – it means there’s some push there, just not much shape. You’d be paddling out at Tices Sholls and you might scratch into a few, but it's going to be a long, patient session for very ordinary waves. The crowds are only "sometimes" a problem, so you won't be fighting for them.
The truth is, the whole 16-day window is a real struggle. The water temp is sitting at 75°F which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there waiting. There are a couple of other mornings like Saturday, August 8th, and Sunday, August 9th, with clean conditions from a light WSW wind, but the swell is tiny: barely 4 ft and 3 ft. The energy readings are weak for those—only 175 and 69 (that's barely a ripple). The period is a short 5-6 seconds. You're looking at gutless, weak waves. It’s just not worth getting the board wet for any of it.
This is a classic case of an area that sees long, flat spells. The finder turned up almost nothing, so it’s not a surprise. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, it's a solid "don't bother." Save your wax for another week.
