The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for paddlers at Tices Sholls. The outlook is pretty grim for the vast majority of the 16-day window. We’re looking at a long, long run of poor surf conditions with minimal to no swell, and when the waves finally show a bit of energy later in the period, the wind is going to be all wrong. From now through to the end of August, it’s a desert for any sort of quality ride.
The best, and really the only, glimmer of hope is way out on Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th of August. A real beast of a swell rolls in, but it’s going to be messy. Thursday morning sees a 7 ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is a cross-on, 9 mph from the NE – that’s not going to do any favours for the shape. The combined swell energy is a meaty 370 (moderate wave energy) but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be bumpy and fat. The afternoon gets even bigger, with 7 ft from the east on a 12 mph onshore wind, energy hitting 495. It’s expert-only territory due to the size and the chop. Friday is similar, with 5 ft from the east and a steady onshore wind from the ESE. At over 7 ft, Thursday afternoon is definitely too big for beginners and strictly for experienced surfers only.
That’s it. A blank run of nearly two weeks, followed by a couple of days of big, blown-out surf. For a sandbar like Tices Sholls, that size and wind setup would be far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It’s one of those periods where unless you’re desperate and have a board you don’t mind dinging, you’re better off waiting. Forecasts can shift, but this look is pretty locked in.
