The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the surf for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at just one break: Tices Sholls, a beginner-friendly sandbar that catches swell from the south-east. The water’s sitting at about 76°F right now, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
The whole outlook is a real slow-burner. Honestly, there’s not a single standout session that’s going to have you calling in sick. The pattern is mostly small, weak surf with messy conditions, and there are big gaps where it’s just not worth paddling out.
The best of what we’ve got falls on the morning of Friday, August 7th. We’re looking at a clean 3ft swell from the south, period around 6 seconds, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is moderate (102). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. A beginner could get a few soft ones, but there’s no power behind it.
After that, it’s a long stretch of tiny or poor surf through the weekend and into the following week. The Sunday morning of August 9th offers clean, weak 3ft waves from the south, but again, nothing to get excited about.
Things get a little interesting around Wednesday, August 19th. The morning sees a 4ft south swell with clean conditions and moderate combined energy (134). The afternoon is a bit better for shape, with a 4ft south swell and a gentle offshore wind, but the period is still short (6 seconds). It’s still not a standout, but it’s the biggest swell in the whole run.
Wednesday afternoon, August 19th is the pick of the entire outlook, but only because the rest is so quiet. Swell at 4ft from the south, offshore wind, clean conditions. It’s beginner-friendly and the most consistent-looking window we get.
From there, it fades right back to tiny, choppy, and messy through to the 21st. No real gems hiding in the second week.
If you’re a beginner and just want to get wet, the Friday 7th morning or the Wednesday 19th are your best bets. But for anyone looking for proper waves, this stretch is a write-off. Stay tuned – forecasts change.
