The Lowdown
Alright folks, ol' Rusty here, checkin' the charts for the next stretch. Gotta be honest with ya, the first week and a half is lookin' pretty grim. We've got a real dry spell from now through until around the 15th of August. There's barely a ripple to get excited about. But don't you worry, there's a flicker of hope in the second week if you're patient.
Alright, let's start with the only real stand-out window. The morning of Monday, the 17th of August is where we finally see some life at Tices Sholls. The swell is gonna jump up to a solid 6 ft, coming from the SSW. This is a proper dose of energy with a combined swell energy reading of 516, which is strong. Now, that size is getting into the territory where it's more for experienced heads; if you're just starting out, this one's probably gonna be a bit much. The wind is set to be offshore from the NW at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean with that offshore groom. The sandbar setup out there should handle that size alright. Just keep in the back of your mind that this spot can see a crowd at times.
Later that same afternoon, the swell drops back down to 3 ft and the energy fades. The rest of that second week is a mix of smaller, weaker swells from the SE with onshore or cross-shore breezes, so not much else to write home about until you get to the 22nd.
The weekend of Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd offers a little something. On Saturday the 22nd, we see the swell start to build again, reaching 5 ft from the S in the afternoon with a combined swell energy of 209. The wind will be a light cross-offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, which should leave it pretty clean. That's a solid, fun size for anyone comfortable in the water. Sunday the 23rd has a little knee-high dribble from the NE, but it's onshore and choppy, so not worth paddling out for.
After that, the end of the month shows a few more small pulses, but nothing that's gonna have you calling in sick. The 25th of August has some 4 ft SSW swell with clean offshore winds from the NW, but again it's just "surfable", not a real standout.
So, for this region, the run of flat days is pretty normal for this time of year, but the wait is worth it for that Monday the 17th morning session. That's your best bet for a proper wave.
Rusty.
