The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, or a beer, and settle in. Rusty here, and I’ve had a look at the charts for Tices Sholls. To be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’re not talking about a classic run of surf here; we’re talking about a long, dry spell.
First up, the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°.
The first real event that catches my eye isn’t until Monday, the 3rd of August. The swell picks up to 7 ft from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy clocks in at a moderate 513, and the wind is cross-offshore, making it look clean. The afternoon gets even bigger, with 8 ft from the south and a combined energy of 1047, which is moderate to strong. That’s a lot of water moving. However, the waves are coming from the south, which is cross-on for a spot that prefers it from the southeast. The break is a beginner-level sandbar, and with that much power, it’s going to be a handful. It’s a notch above the rest, but it’s not a classic day.
The next morning, Tuesday the 4th, sees a drop in size to 4 ft, but the wind is straight onshore from the northeast, ruining any chance of order. The rest of the forecast is a long, sad tale of small, weak swell and mostly cross or cross-onshore winds. There are a few moments of clean, glassy conditions, like on the Saturday morning of the 8th and the 9th, but with swell barely breaking 3 ft, you’d be fighting for a dribble. The combined energy is weak, often under 100. The onshore winds from the south and southeast just keep the surface messy.
To be blunt, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for a decent surf. The consistent story is poor surf conditions. There’s a big gap from the 3rd of August right through to the end. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Monday the 3rd is the only day with any real power, but it’s a raw, challenging setup for a beginner spot. The 8th and 9th offer clean winds, but with no swell to back them up. It’s one of those blank runs that happens here. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang up the board for a bit.
Rusty.
