The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and old-school. Let's run through it.
We're looking at Westport-The Cove, a beach and jetty deal that catches a fair bit of swell. The water's at 57°, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year, so don't forget the booties.
The coming week or so is a bit of a struggle. Starting Saturday the 18th, there's a small 2ft swell from the west with a long 16-second period, but the wind is messy. The energy is moderate (454). It's a marginal one, more for the beginner who doesn't mind a bumpy ride. Sunday and Monday are looking rough with onshore winds.
The first real light shines on Wednesday the 22nd. The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 4ft swell from the WNW. The period is a bit short at 9 seconds, but the clean conditions make it the best of the early days. Thursday the 23rd morning is also clean with a 4ft swell and those good cross-offshore winds.
Now, the real gold is in the last week of July. Saturday the 25th afternoon is looking very good. A 3ft swell from the southwest, but with a very long 21-second period and strong energy (703). A light cross-offshore breeze is going to keep it clean. Sunday the 26th afternoon is another standout: a 3ft southwest swell, 19-second period, and strong energy (844), clean as a whistle. And Monday the 27th morning is a gem too, with a 3ft SW swell, 18-second period, solid energy (708), and offshore winds for that glassy surface. That long-period groundswell will really line up along the jetty, giving some nice, walled-up rides. This is the best stretch of the whole forecast.
After that, the wind turns ugly from Tuesday the 29th, with cross-onshore breezes messing it all up. The swell fades and the energy drops, with the end of the month and start of August looking poor, with fresh cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak waves. The fun is over by then.
In short, the first week is a grind, but the 25th, 26th, and 27th of July are the ones to circle. Go get it.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Westport-The Cove 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.
