Table - best surf conditions forecast for West Dale over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lined up for West Dale.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Tuesday the 14th, and even then it’s a tiny 1.0 ft swell from the SW with a period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 53, so it’s not going to have much push. The water’s sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From Wednesday the 15th all the way through to Monday the 20th, it’s basically flat. Lots of glassy mornings that look pretty but offer nothing to ride. The swell is barely registering, with energy readings dropping as low as 2. You’d be better off bringing a towel than a board.
Then we get a bit of a pulse around Tuesday the 21st. The morning brings a 3 ft SW groundswell, but the period is a short 4 seconds, so it’s going to be weak and messy. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 5 ft from the WSW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 195 – that’s moderate energy. But it’s not clean; the wind is a cross-off at 16 mph, so the surface will be lumpy. This is still in the "poor surf conditions" category, so not something to get excited about.
Wednesday the 22nd is similar, with a 5 ft WSW swell in the morning and 4 ft in the afternoon. The energy is 173 and 145 respectively. The wind stays cross-off, so it’s surfable if you’re desperate, but the wave comment says "very ordinary conditions." This is on the bigger side for a beginner, over 5 ft, so it might be too much for the less experienced.
The rest of the week into the 25th sees the swell stick around at 3 ft to 4 ft, but the wind swings onshore from the SW, turning it choppy and lumpy. The combined energy drops, and the quality is poor. Honestly, for a beach setup like West Dale, with that kind of onshore wind, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the standout? It’s a weak one, but Tuesday the 22nd has the most size and energy, but it’s not clean. If you’re itching for a paddle, that’s your best bet. But don’t expect much.
Rusty.
