The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on offer. Let's be straight with you from the jump: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary for the most part, so keep your expectations low.
We start off on Wednesday, July 22nd with something of a mixed bag. The only real pulse of energy comes in Wednesday morning with a 6ft S swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is a moderate cross-off from the WSW at 15 mph. The combined swell energy is moderate at 668, but honestly, with a score like that and a "risk tstorm" weather tag, it's not worth getting too excited about. The water temp is 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. By the afternoon, that swell drops off to 5ft. After Wednesday, the surf just fades away.
From Thursday, July 23rd right through to Sunday, August 2nd, it’s a long stretch of nothing special. We’re talking tiny, weak, and messy conditions day after day. There are a few mornings with clean offshore winds, like Wednesday, July 29th and Thursday, July 30th, but the swell is tiny – 3ft to 3ft – so it’s barely breaking. The combined energy is low, sitting between 46 and 112, so it’s just not worth paddling out for.
The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day window pops up on Sunday morning, August 2nd. The swell bumps up to a clean 4ft from the SSE with an 8-second period and a nice cross-off wind from the W at 9 mph. The combined energy is a moderate 161, and it’ll be cleaner than anything else we've seen. That’s your best shot, but it’s still a long way off, so it’s more of a “promising but less certain” kind of thing. After that, it's back to tiny and grovelly.
Overall, it's a tough stretch. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of it. Hang in there, and keep an eye on those forecasts.
