The Lowdown
Alright, I'm Rusty, and I've got to be honest with you – this is a grim outlook for West Dale. We're staring down a long, dry spell of flat, useless surf before anything even remotely rideable shows up.
The entire 16-day window starts with a whole lot of nothing. From Wednesday, July 15th, all the way through Monday, July 27th, it's a wasteland. We're talking waves that are 0.3ft to 0.7ft at best. The swell energy is pathetic, barely registering in the single digits and low teens. The wind does offer a few moments of glass, like on the morning of Thursday the 16th and Sunday the 19th, but with no swell to push, you're just looking at a mirror. It's a nearly two-week stretch with zero recommendations.
Finally, there's a pulse of energy late in the game. Tuesday afternoon, the 28th, sees a jump to 5ft from the WSW, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds and the wind is messy and cross-on. The energy climbs to 195.
The only real "standout," and I use that word carefully, is the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. We've got a 5ft swell from the WSW, period up to 8 seconds, and the energy is a solid 356. The wind is light from the NW, almost glassy, which will keep the surface clean. This is the best it gets, but it's still only a marginal forecast. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 62°F.
After that, it fades fast. Thursday the 30th drops back under 3ft. So, if you're desperate, mark Wednesday the 29th. It's not going to be a day to remember, but it's the only thing that might even be worth a paddle.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
