Hey, Rusty here. Let’s call it how it is – this is a dead flat stretch. We’re looking at a full 16-day run starting now, but from Monday the 6th of July onward, we’re just watching the ocean do nothing. The water temp is 78°F, which is much warmer than normal – about 6°F above the average for this time of year. Strange to feel it that warm with zero waves.
From Monday the 6th through Sunday the 12th of July, there isn’t a single wave worth paddling for. Heights run from 0.6ft to a meager 4ft, but every single report says poor surf conditions and a score of zero. The combined swell energy never makes it out of the weak range, maxing out at 94. Winds are messy – cross, onshore, or just in the wrong direction.
Then from Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 21st of July – same story. Heights barely touch 3ft, and the combined energy is often in single digits. You get clean glassy mornings on the 14th and 15th, but the swell is practically nonexistent.
The only break we’ve got is Tower Road. It’s a beginner sandbar that’s fairly consistent in normal times, but for this whole 16-day window it has nothing on offer. No standout days, no real hope. This is just one of those quiet spells for the area. Things can turn around, so don’t put the board away forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Tower Road Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tower Road provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tower Road can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tower Road surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tower Road) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tower Road may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
