The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Tices Sholls (sandbar, good for beginners) over the next couple of weeks.
I gotta be honest right up front – the next few days are a total flat spell. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are dead. Tiny, weak swell and messy cross-shore winds. The water temp is about 75°, which is a little warmer than normal for this time of year – about a degree and a half above average, so it’s a bit more comfortable, but it won’t help the waves.
We finally get a little life on Wednesday morning the 29th. A small SSE swell around 4ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (120). The big plus is the wind – NW offshore, clean and light. It’ll be small, but those offshore conditions will make it look better than it is. This is probably the best option for a beginner paddle in the first week, but don’t expect anything big.
Thursday the 30th keeps the offshore wind going from the W, but the swell drops to under 3ft. Clean, but tiny. Energy drops to 125 in the morning, then 70 in the afternoon. Ordinary.
Then we hit another long dry stretch. From Friday the 31st all the way through to Tuesday the 5th of August, it’s mostly poor conditions. Winds go onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is anemic – mostly below 3ft. Energy numbers are all in the double digits, some as low as 17. That’s a full week of flatness.
The one small highlight in the second week is Monday the 3rd of August. A morning session with a 3ft SSE swell at 9 seconds, with light cross-offshore winds keeping it clean. Energy is back up to 102. It’s rideable, but still ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.
The outlook improves a touch on Tuesday the 11th of August. The swell is still small at 2ft from the E, but the period stretches to 6 seconds and the wind is light cross-offshore, keeping things clean. Combined energy is 41. It’s small, but it’s clean. That’s the most promising day in the whole 16-day window.
Honestly, for a spot that’s exposed and gets a crowd sometimes, the next two weeks are pretty rough. There’s no real standout session. The only days worth paddling out are Wednesday the 29th of July morning for the offshore wind, and maybe Tuesday the 11th of August for a clean, small wave. If you’re a beginner, the Wednesday morning is your best bet, but keep your hopes low.
Rusty.
