The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is pretty grim for a long stretch. We’re looking at a real dry spell, with no worthwhile surf to speak of for the first week. The first chance of anything comes on Monday the 17th, but even then, it’s a bit of a reach.
From now until Saturday the 16th, it’s all very small, weak swells, with combined energies barely ticking over (7 to 118). The winds are mostly cross or cross-off, but the surf just isn't there. It’s a quiet, flat spell.
The first real sign of life, and the only thing I’d even consider paddling out for, is Tices Sholls on Monday the 17th of August. The morning brings a pulse of south swell at 4ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 270 (moderate), and the wind is a clean, cross-off from the NNW. That’s the best combo we see. The water is a very warm 78°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. The afternoon glass off with zero wind is also a treat, with 3ft surf and a glassy surface. It’s marginal, but for this run, it’s the standout.
Beyond that, we get a long-period groundswell pushing in from the SE on Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, with combined energy up around 244 (moderate). The swell size is small, around 2ft to 3ft, but the period is a very long 12 to 15 seconds. That kind of long-period energy on a sandbar can be a bit too straight and close out, but it’s something. The problem is the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Not a great bet.
The rest of the window into the 25th is just more of the same: small, weak swells, mostly poor conditions, and not much to get excited about.
So, if you’re desperate, Monday the 17th is your best shot. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. Keep an eye on the sky, things can change.
Rusty.
