Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tices Sholls over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s get real. I’m Rusty, and for the next 16 days, Tices Sholls is a total no-go. There isn’t a single slot I’d recommend paddling out. It’s a rough stretch.
Starting Thursday the 9th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft easterly windswell, but it’s blown out by a 12 mph cross-breeze and a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a weak 59, so there’s just no punch. The water temp is about average for the time of year, not that it helps. This poor quality hangs on for days.
The only time you might consider it is Friday the 10th. The morning is glassy with a light 3 mph offshore from the NW, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. The afternoon brings a little more – 2ft from the south with a clean offshore breeze – but the period is still a weak 6 seconds. It’s surfable in the sense you could get wet, but it’s not good.
The second week is just more of the same. By Monday the 20th, the swell finally shows up at 5ft from the south, with combined energy hitting 177 – that’s moderate. But the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the report still says "poor surf conditions". This continues through the 21st and 22nd, with onshore winds ruining a 5ft to 4ft southerly swell. The period stays short and junky.
Honestly, the wind and wave state make this look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wind is often strong enough, and the waves are just too messy. It’s a long, dry spell. We’re hoping the next forecast brings something better.
Patience, folks.
Rusty.
