The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf with only a handful of moments that are even worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is mostly in the double digits (13 to 226), which tells you the ocean is pretty sleepy for the most part. Water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real chance to wet a line doesn’t come until the morning of Tuesday the 6th of August. That morning, the offshore wind is light from the SW, but the swell is tiny at 1 foot from the ESE. It’s clean, but honestly, it’s barely a ripple. Not a standout.
Things perk up a little from Monday the 12th of August. On the morning of Monday the 12th, we get a bit more size at 3 feet from the ENE, period of 9 seconds, with a gentle offshore from the SW. The combined energy is 172, which is moderate, and the wind is clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The morning of Tuesday the 13th of August offers glassy conditions with 2 feet from the ENE and a period of 9 seconds, but the energy is low at 73.
Now, if you’re looking for the best of a quiet bunch, I’d point you to the morning of Monday the 12th of August at Tuncurry-North Wall. It’s not going to blow your mind, but with a 3 feet swell from the ENE, a 9-second period, and clean offshore winds from the SW, it’s the most decent option we have. It is a beach/breakwater setup, exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is NE, so that ENE swell is in the ballpark. The crowds are often there, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
The only other flicker of hope is the morning of Monday the 17th of August, with clean 3 feet from the ENE under a moderate offshore from the SW. Still small, but it’s clean.
Overall, the pattern is small and inconsistent. The swell doesn’t get over 4 feet, and the periods are mostly short to average. It’s a quiet run, typical for the area when the ocean just doesn’t have much energy. Keep an eye on it though – forecasts can change.
