The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you. I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching Tices Sholls for a while now. Here’s the deal for the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’re looking at a pretty flat start. From today, Sunday the 19th, right through to Tuesday the 21st, there’s nothing worth paddling out for – tiny little waves with poor conditions. That’s a solid three-day gap with no surf to speak of. Then Wednesday the 22nd rolls in and things finally get interesting.
Wednesday morning at Tices Sholls you’ll see a swell starting to build: 6.2 ft from the south at 8 seconds, with the wind blowing cross-off from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate to strong (835). It’s still a bit marginal in the morning, but by Wednesday afternoon it really turns on. The swell sits around 5.9 ft from the south, still 8 seconds, but the wind shifts to a light cross-off from the west – clean, glassy conditions. The combined energy (685) is still solid. This is the best session of the whole outlook – clean, punchy waves on a sandbar that usually handles beginners okay, though 5.9 ft might be a bit much for absolute beginners. The swell direction is south, not the ideal SE, but it’s working. Crowds are possible, but with that quality you’ll have some company. If you can get out Wednesday afternoon, do it.
After that, the rest of the 16-day window drops off again. Thursday the 23rd through to Monday the 3rd of August are mostly poor – small, weak, or messy. There’s a slight tickle on
