Alright, let’s take a look at what’s happening at West Dale. Honestly, it’s a real snoozer of a forecast. The whole 16 days is pretty much flat, with a huge dry spell right from the start. Don’t get your hopes up.
The first few days are all about tiny, weak waves. Tuesday morning, July 7th, we’ve got some 1ft lines from the west with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 30 (30). The wind is a light cross from the northwest, so it’s clean but too small. Wednesday, the wind turns onshore and the swell stays tiny. Thursday morning the 9th has a moment of glassy conditions with a 1ft WSW swell, but it’s still just a dribble, energy only 29 (29).
Friday the 10th of July offers a little bump – 1ft from the WSW with a 9-second period and clean cross-offshore winds from the north. The energy goes up to 40 (40), but it’s still just a knee-high slosh. This pattern of tiny, clean swell drags on through the weekend and into the next week. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
There’s no real standout. The best you could say is maybe Thursday morning the 16th of July, with a 0.7ft SSW swell, a 14-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy is a weak 26 (26). That’s a long-period groundswell, but it’s way too small to do anything. It might be a tease for a point or reef, but nothing here.
By the 17th and 18th of July, we see a tiny, short-period bump from the southwest, but it’s still under 2ft and the wind is messy. The second week is just more flatness. The only good thing is the wind is often clean, but with no swell, it’s just a glassy pond.
So, it’s a long quiet spell. Stash the board and wait for the next system. Sometimes the forecast just gives you a blank.
