Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be real with you.

To be honest, looking at the whole sixteen-day window, it's a tough one. We're staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell. The first solid bit of action doesn't even show up until the morning of Sunday the 12th, and even then, it's tiny. We're talking about a week of nothing but flat water and hoping for a change. It's a proper dry spell.

So, for the first week, from Wednesday the 8th all the way through to Saturday the 12th, there's absolutely nothing. Zero. Nada. The ocean is flat. The wind is all over the shop, but it doesn't matter because there's no swell to work with. It's a write-off. You're better off waxing the car than the board.

Then we get a little glimmer. Sunday morning the 12th, we finally see a pulse. It's a tiny 0.6 ft north swell, with a weak energy reading of just 6. It's not much to write home about, but it's something. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least the wait will be comfortable.

This tiny trend continues through the next week. Monday the 13th sees a similar 0.6 ft swell from the NNE, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, giving it a bit more grunt with a combined energy of 16. Still small, but a little more shape. The winds are light and offshore in the mornings, which is the only saving grace.

The best we've got in this whole outlook is the morning of Friday the 17th. We've got a 2 ft swell from the north, with the wind going glassy. That's a beautiful thing. The energy is up to 33, and the conditions will be clean as a whistle. For Tres Palmas, 2 ft is just a dribble, but with that glassy surface and a clean north swell, it'll be the most fun you can have on a longboard. It's the standout simply because everything else is so flat. The crowd at Tres Palmas can be a problem sometimes, but on a day like this with such small surf, I reckon you'll have it mostly to yourself.

After that, the energy drops right back off again. The 18th and 19th have a few small waves, but nothing that will get your heart rate up. The last week, from the 20th of July onwards, it's a ghost town again. The swell is gone, and the energy numbers are back down in single digits. It's another flat spell to finish the run.

To sum it up: if you're desperate for a paddle, the glassy morning of Friday the 17th is your only real shot at some clean, tiny waves. The rest of the time, you're looking at a lot of flat water.

Rusty.
