Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tices Sholls over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at Tices Sholls are a real bummer. There's hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance you get is the morning of Friday, July 10th. That morning a tiny 1 ft swell from the ENE with a mediocre 8-second period shows up, and the wind is light offshore from the NW at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is a weak 47, and the call is "surfable but very ordinary." That's it – one small window. After that morning, it's pretty much dead quiet for the next 13 days straight. The rest of the period is plagued by cross-shore and onshore breezes, tiny swell, and poor surf. There's a slight bump in combined energy to 104 on Thursday afternoon the 16th and 103 on Friday the 17th, but the swell direction is off and the winds are messy – those will just be choppy, no good. Crowds are possible here, but with conditions this flat you'll probably have the place to yourself. If you're desperate, that Friday morning might give you a few knee-high waves, but honestly, for a beginner spot like this, it's not worth getting your hopes up. Keep an eye on the charts – things can change. Rusty.
