Alright, I’ll be honest with you folks. This is a quiet stretch for West Dale. I’ve been staring at the charts and, truth be told, there’s not a single good surf option in the whole 16-day window. That’s a flat run, and with a break that’s only fairly consistent, a blank spell like this isn’t completely out of the ordinary around here. Don’t lose hope though – forecasts can shift, and it usually doesn’t stay this quiet for long.
Let’s walk through it. We kick off on Saturday July 4th with a tiny 3ft WSW swell on a short 6-second period, but the wind is blowing straight onshore at 15 km/h, chopping it up. Combined wave energy is weak at 131. That afternoon, it actually drops to 2ft. Sunday July 5th stays poor – a bit of 2ft swell but with a cross-onshore breeze making it messy. We go through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with nothing but knee-high dribble, poor surf conditions across the board.
The only glimmer comes late in the run. On Friday July 17th the swell finally pushes up to 4ft from the SW with a period of 7 seconds, moderate energy (159). The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not clean but at least it’s not blown out. The afternoon jumps to 6ft from the WSW, period 7 seconds, energy 277 – that’s getting some push. But the wind goes cross-onshore at 15 km/h, so it’ll be bumpy. At that size it’s tipping into expert-only territory, especially with that wind chop. Saturday the 18th holds some 4ft swell but again cross-shore wind keeps it average.
So, the honest truth? No standouts here. This setup with a beach break, all that onshore and cross-shore wind, and the poor quality flags across the board… honestly, if you’ve got a kite, this might be more interesting than a surfboard. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
