Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. I’ve looked over the numbers for Tices Sholls, and honestly, this is a tough stretch for the next couple of weeks. We’re staring down a long, quiet run with a lot of poor conditions and very little to get excited about.
The pattern over the full sixteen days is dominated by small, weak swell and unfriendly wind. There’s a gap of about ten days from now until we see anything that’s even close to being surfable. For the first week and a half, from Sunday the 5th through to Monday the 13th of July, the wave energy is consistently low, with values like 63, 25, and 57 (weak energy), and the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, creating choppy, bumpy surfaces. It’s pretty grim. The water temperature anomaly is not flagged as unusual, so it’s about average for this time of year.
The first chance for a paddle comes on the afternoon of Monday the 13th of July. Tices Sholls sees a jump in swell to 6ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 772 (moderate wave energy). The period is 8 seconds. The wind is light and onshore, leaving the conditions marginal at best and the tide could be a factor. It’s a 1/10 score for that session – not exactly a ringing endorsement.
After that, we get another run of poor surf with cross-winds and lumpy chop right through to Sunday the 19th of July.
Finally, on the morning of Sunday the 20th of July, there’s a glimmer. We have a clean-looking morning with a wave of 4ft from the SSE, period of 8 seconds, and light offshore wind (SSW) at 9 mph. The combined energy is 149 (weak to moderate). It’s still pretty ordinary, but it’s the only session in the whole two weeks where the wind is truly clean. That is your absolute best bet. If you’re desperate, that’s the window.
The truth is, for most of this forecast, the combination of small swell and cross/onshore wind makes Tices Sholls a bit of a kite-surfing zone more than a paddle-surfing spot, especially through the lumpy afternoons. There’s simply no standout session worth hanging your hat on. The surf will be inconsistent and the waves won’t have any real shape until that last Sunday. Let’s hope the long-range charts change, because right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
