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, it’s a tough run. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, and for the first few days, honestly, there’s not much to get excited about. The water’s sitting at 50°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only bonus.
The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 25th of July. That morning at Playa Varesse, we’ve got a clean little cross-offshore breeze with a tiny 2ft swell creeping in from the south. The period is a moderate 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 129 (129). It’s tiny, but it’s clean. That’s the best we’ve seen all week.
Things stay quiet through the end of July. Monday morning the 27th brings a clean cross-off again, but it’s still small at 2ft. Then Tuesday morning the 28th, we get a proper offshore wind from the WSW, clean as a whistle, but still only 2ft from the east with a 10-second period. It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting for scraps.
Now, the standout in this whole period looks like Friday morning, the 31st of July. The swell picks up to 5ft coming from the southeast, with a 10-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the northwest, leaving the surface glassy. The combined energy hits a moderate 482 (482). That’s the best wave energy we’ve seen, and with clean conditions, this is the morning to be out there. It’s still a small wave, but it’s the pick of the bunch.
After that, it gets messy. The first week of August sees a bump in size, with 5ft to 5ft swell on offer, but the wind is all wrong. We’ve got onshore and cross-shore winds, often moderate to fresh, making everything choppy and lumpy. The energy is moderate to strong, hitting 690 (690) on the morning of the 1st of August, but it’s useless for a paddle. The surf quality is poor, and honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer.
So, in summary: don’t hold your breath for the first week. Saturday the 25th is a tiny clean window, but the real one to target is Friday morning, the 31st of July. After that, the wind turns on us and the waves get blown out. It’s a lean run, but that 31st morning is worth a look.
Rusty.
