The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this stretch of the forecast is a tough one for Tices Sholls. It's a sandbar break, exposed to the swell, but the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We're starting with a big gap of no good surf. The first few days, from the 6th right through to the 10th, are just plain poor—small, wind-chopped lumps with very weak energy. Not worth a second look.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Tuesday the 11th. The wind goes glassy, with a light northwesterly, and the swell is a tiny 3ft from the south, with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is moderate, but it's still described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's clean, but it's small and weak. For a beginner spot, it's rideable, but don't expect much.
Then we hit another flat spell. From the 12th through to the 17th, it's nearly all poor surf, with tiny waves (0.7ft to 2ft) and very weak energy. There's a couple of mornings with offshore winds on the 13th and 14th, but the swell is just too small to bother.
The one standout, and the only one worth circling on your calendar, is the afternoon of Tuesday the 18th. We get a jump in swell to 5ft from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the northwest at 16 mph, and the energy jumps up to a moderate level. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions"—still not epic, but it's the best we've got. The offshore wind will keep it clean, and 5ft is a fun size for a beginner break. But don't get too excited—it's a short-period swell, so it won't be holding much shape.
Wednesday the 19th morning has a similar 5ft swell from the south, with a bit more energy, but the wind is cross-off, not pure offshore. It's still clean, but the quality is only "marginal." After that, it drops off again into the 20th and 21st with onshore winds and poor conditions.
So, to sum it up: the only real window is Tuesday the 18th afternoon. It's not a world-class day, but it's the most surfable moment in a long, flat 16-day outlook. The water temperature is about average for this time of year—nothing unusual to report.
Rusty.
