Tower Road Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here with the reality check.

Right now, and for the next two weeks, we are in a flat spell. The finder is coming up empty for Tower Road. The charts are just not cooperating to send any energy our way. It's a tough run, but this spot can be like that; the weather patterns aren't linking up. The silver lining is it won't stay poor forever, and one good storm can flip the switch. For now, we sit tight.

Let's look at the few hints of change, even if they aren't worth chasing. On Saturday the 5th of July, there's a tiny bump, but it's got a short period and messy cross-shore winds. Hard pass. The first time we get a clean look is Tuesday morning the 7th. We have a light offshore breeze from the southwest, but the swell is a puny 2ft from the SSE with a weak 6-second period. The combined energy is just 49 (weak). It's clean, but there's no wave to ride.

The middle of the week offers no real hope. Wednesday afternoon the 8th sees a glassy surface from a 1ft ENE swell with a 7-second period, but that's barely a bump. Combined energy is 36 (weak). You'd be floating on a mirror.

There's a slight pulse on Sunday the 12th of July. A 3ft swell from the east shows up in the afternoon with an offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy hits 58 (still weak), and the period is a short 5 seconds. It's clean, but it's not going to produce anything worth the trip. The water temp is a nice 74°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you'll just be sitting there.

Going into the second week, the 14th and 15th of July see the most consistent offshore and cross-offshore winds we'll get, with swells around 2ft from the east, and the combined energy creeping up to 70 on Tuesday morning. Still, with a period of 8 seconds, it's too small and weak to be considered surfable. It's clean, but it's a lake.

Right at the very end of the forecast, on Saturday the 18th of July, we get a tiny 2ft from the SSE with a gentle offshore breeze from the WSW. Combined energy is 30 (very weak). It's clean, but again, just not enough oomph.

To sum it up: The best of a bad bunch is Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th, when the offshore winds are strongest and most consistent, but the swell is simply too small and weak to do anything with. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. This is a waiting game until the next proper swell arrives.

Stay patient.
