The Lowdown
Alright, folks, this is Rusty. Let me tell you, this stretch of the forecast for Tices Sholls is a real grind. It’s a tough run of conditions, and there’s not much to get excited about for a while.
The first time you’ll see anything worth paddling out for is the morning of Thursday, July 30th. The wind is glassy, coming light from the NNW, and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate at 129, and it’s rideable, but it’s just very ordinary. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°.
Then, Friday morning, July 31st, gives you a similar story – glassy conditions with a light SE wind, a 3ft SSE swell, and an 8-second period. The energy is weak at 79, but those glassy conditions will make it look a little better than it is. It’s small and clean, but only for the patient ones.
If you’re looking for the one standout, you have to wait until Monday, August 3rd. The morning shows a real pulse of energy. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SSE with a solid 10-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 378. The wind is onshore from the ESE, which is a real shame, but the size and period suggest there’s some serious power in the water. This is the best of a bad lot, but it’s still not perfect. That 5ft swell with a 10-second period has the makings of a decent wave, but the onshore wind will mess it up.
The rest of the period is a mess. From the 23rd of July right through to the 2nd of August, it’s mostly cross-onshore winds, choppy surfaces, and tiny, weak swells. There’s a long stretch of several days where the scores are a flat zero. The 3rd of August is your best bet, but it’s a long way off and the wind is a problem. The 4th of August morning has a clean-looking 3ft SSE swell, but the wind is cross-on, so it’s still not the one.
Bottom line: for the next two weeks, Tices Sholls is a tough one. The 3rd of August morning has the biggest swell and the most energy, but the wind is a killer. The glassy mornings on the 30th and 31st of July are your only clean windows, but the swell is tiny. If you’re desperate, those are your windows. Otherwise, wait for the next system.
Rusty.
