The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming for our local waters.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough forecast. The whole 16-day window is mostly flat and ugly, with a big, messy spike at the end that’s a kite surfer’s dream but a surfer’s nightmare.
The first run is a proper drought. From Monday 27 July through the end of the month, the swell is tiny and weak, with energy readings between 7 and 44 (weak). The wind is a constant problem, blowing hard from the SSW onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up any hint of a wave. The 3ft to 4ft swell on Tuesday 28 July is a mess.
The first week of August gets even flatter. Energy readings drop to 3 and 2. The wind does turn offshore from the NE, but the swell is only 0.3ft to 1ft. There are a few glassy hours on the 6th and 7th, but no swell to surf. It’s a real tease.
Then, on Saturday 8 August, we get a pulse. The swell jumps to 6ft from the W, with a period of 6 seconds, and the wave energy hits 220 (moderate). The wind is a strong cross-onshore from the SSE, which will make Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) a lumpy, choppy mess. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 62°F.
Sunday 9 August sees the biggest swell of the run, with 7ft from the WNW and energy at 299. But the wind is screaming onshore at 25 mph from the SSW. That’s a washing machine. At 7ft, only experts should even think about it, and with that wind, it’s a no-go.
The date 10 August and beyond, the swell just dies. We’re left with flat, choppy seas and strong winds.
So, what’s the best? There is no standout. The whole setup on the 8th and 9th looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re absolutely dying to get wet, the glassy morning of Thursday 6 August might give you a knee-high, clean ripple, but you’ll be waiting forever for a set.
This is a tough one. The inconsistency is normal for this area, but it doesn’t make it any easier. Keep an eye on the forecast – it never stays this bad for long.
Rusty.
