The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from the beach. Let's talk about what we've got on offer around here for the next couple of weeks, and to be straight up with you, it's lookin' pretty flat.
Right now, and for the entire 16-day window, the main spot on the radar is Walton Rocks (Power Plant). But, boy, it's a tough one. From Wednesday the 5th of August all the way through to the very end of this outlook on the 20th of August, the forecast keeps yelling "poor surf conditions" at us, so don't be expecting much. The swell energy is painfully weak, mostly hanging out with two-digit numbers like 11, 22, or 96 – that's barely a ripple. The water temps are sitting at a balmy 83.1 °F, which is about average for this time of year, so a least you won't be cold while you're staring at a lake.
The first surf recommendation actually covers this whole stretch, but it's a pretty grim one. Most of the time we've got a cross-onshore wind crossing up the water, making everything choppy. There are little pockets of glassy conditions on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August and again on the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, but with waves barely reaching 0.7 ft from the east, there’s just no energy to push a surfboard. The period is short, often under 8 seconds, so even if you paddle out, the waves have no grunt. The standouts, if you can even call them that, would be those glassy mornings on the 12th and 13th where at least the surface is flat, but you'd be floating on a pond.
We also see a bit of a lift on Saturday the 15th of August morning with a 2.3 ft SE swell and a gentler cross-shore wind, but that combined energy is still a weak 31 – totally forgettable. The same goes for the middle of the afternoon on Monday the 17th of August, which has a brief offshore wind from the WSW, making it clean, but again with a 0.7 ft swell, it's a session for a paddleboard, not a surfboard.
The only thing that saves this from being a complete bust for a couple of very late mornings is that tiny window of glass. Don't bother checking the surf.
