Table - best surf conditions forecast for West Dale over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s call it like it is. This 16-day outlook is a real bummer. The swell is mostly absent, and we’re looking at a long, flat stretch. The first chance to actually get wet is a long way off, and it’s not going to be anything special.
The first surfable wave arrives on Tuesday, July 14th, in the afternoon, at West Dale. That’s the only thing that’s even worth mentioning. The swell is a tiny 0.3m out of the SW, with a period of 18 seconds. That’s a long period groundswell, but it’s got no height. The wave energy is low at 58 (moderate), so it’s not going to give you much. The good news is the wind is offshore from the ENE, blowing at 20 km/h, so the surface will be clean. You’ll be working for every wave, but it’s rideable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, it’s a dead zone for over a week, until Thursday, July 24th, in the morning. On the 24th, a new swell pops up to 1.3m from the WNW, but it’s a short period of 5 seconds. That’s weak, windswell. The energy is only 98 (weak), and the wind is light onshore from the SW, so it’s going to be crummy. That’s not a standout—it’s just the only thing that’s not a total zero. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a proper dry spell. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
