Alright, grab your wettie, here’s the lowdown in feet and Fahrenheit.
The 16-day outlook starts with a long flat spell. From now until Wednesday the 15th of July, there’s zero to ride. Windy, messy, and just not worth lookin' at.
Then we get a sliver of hope on Thursday the 16th of July. Torquay Front Beach is where it's at. A 4ft swell from the SSW, with a 14-second pulse. That’s real groundswell, giving the waves some oomph. Combined energy is moderate at 682. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon—dead flat—so the surface will be like a mirror. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing crazy. The swell direction isn’t perfect for this spot, but the clean conditions and that long period make for a fun, user-friendly wave. It’s a beginner-friendly break, sheltered from the worst of it, and you might run into a few others out there. This is the best day of the whole window.
Friday the 17th is a sad follow-up. A tiny 1ft swell, long period, weak energy (82), and onshore chop in the afternoon. Not for me.
From Saturday the 18th onward, it’s a ghost town. Tiny swells, onshores, and mixed-up wind. The only other blip is on Sunday the 26th with a 3ft windswell from the NNE—a pathetic 4-second period and weak energy (28). Don't bother.
So, pin all your hopes on Thursday the 16th. Everything else is a flat, blown-out mess until this forecast flips.
