The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for West Dale. I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We've got a long stretch of small, poor-quality surf from Saturday the 25th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 5th of August. That's over a week of small, messy, or just plain onshore slop. You'll be seeing a lot of small, weak swells, all coming from the wrong directions and getting chopped up by the wind. It's a tough run.
Then, out of nowhere, we get a real spike on Wednesday the 5th of August. The models are showing a seriously big, powerful swell pushing in. We're looking at a 12 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is forecast to be light and favourable, but here's the thing – it's too big. At 12 ft, this is expert-only territory, and even then, it's predicted to be too big for this break. The conditions might be clean, but the size is just plain dangerous for most. The afternoon drops a little to 10 ft, but still a no-go for the average punter.
After that blast, it settles back down to small, weak surf through the rest of the second week. Honestly, the best thing about this forecast is the clean conditions you'll get on a few of the mornings, like Thursday the 30th of July with a light offshore breeze, but with only 2 ft on offer, it's not worth the drive.
So, for the next 16 days, there's no standout option. The one day of real energy is a warning, not a recommendation. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this long flat spell has to break sometime.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for West Dale may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
