The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up at Tices Sholls over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, and for the next several days, the surf is pretty much a non-event. We’re looking at tiny slop – swell hovering around 0.7ft to 1ft, mostly straight out of the ESE with a period that’s all over the shop. The wind is a mixed bag, but nothing is doing this place any favours. Water temp is sitting at 77° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4° above average, so you won’t need the thick rubber.
There’s a frustratingly long gap of poor to ordinary conditions running right through until late August. Monday the 28th morning shows a slight lift to 3ft from the ESE with a light offshore touch from the SW – still only a marginal call though. Not worth paddling out for.
Things get a bit more interesting heading into the first week of September. On Wednesday the 3rd morning, finally something worth looking at. Swell bumps to 3ft from the SE, period 12 seconds, wind offshore from the W at 9 mph – gentle offshore and clean. Combined swell energy is moderate at 235. It’s not big, but it’s clean and rideable.
Then Thursday the 4th morning looks like the real standout of this outlook. Swell 3ft from the SE, 12-second period, near-calm conditions with NW wind at just 3 mph. Smooth as glass, clean lines. Combined energy sitting at 320 – solid moderate energy. That’s the session to set the alarm for.
After that, Saturday the 5th morning pushes up to 4ft from the ESE but with less favourable cross-shore wind – still a bit lumpy. The end of the run fades back into small chop and onshore junk.
Honestly, for Tices Sholls the pick of the entire 16 days is Thursday morning September 4th. Small but clean, light offshore, and the best chance at a decent wave. Don’t get too excited about the rest – it’s a lean run, but that one morning could deliver.
Rusty.
