Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Westport-The Cove over the next couple weeks. Gotta be straight with ya – it’s a lean stretch. The first real chance of a wave that’s worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday the 13th of July, so we’re lookin’ at a solid gap of about a week and a half of meh or worse conditions. Before that, we got a lot of onshore chop and funky wind.
That Monday morning, the 13th, we finally get a little breather. The wind swings around to a light offshore from the south at 9 mph. That’ll clean things right up. The swell is small though, only 2 ft from the west, but with a nice 15-second period, so there’ll be some long lines. The combined energy is weak (240), so don't expect much power, but it'll be clean. The water’s runnin’ a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 57°. Crowds are just "sometimes," so you might have it mostly to yourself.
The real standout, though, the one to circle on your calendar, is Wednesday the 15th of July. Now we’re talkin'. Morning session looks prime. The wind is light and variable from the southwest at just 3 mph, feelin’ almost glassy, with a cross-offshore trim. Swell is 2 ft from the west, but the period is a very long 21 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps up to 830, which is solid for the size. This won’t be a mushy beach break; at Westport-The Cove (a beach/jetty setup) that long period might make it a little straight, but with clean, glassy conditions, it’ll be some of the best shape we see all forecast. Afternoon holds similar, with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze and 2 ft of 19-second swell (764 energy). This is the pick of the bunch.
After that, it's back to onshore junk through the rest of the second week. So, to sum it up: there’s nothing worth wetting a suit for until the 13th, but Wednesday the 15th has the makings of a very special, clean little session. Get on it if you can.
Rusty.

Information about the Westport-The Cove Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Westport-The Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Westport-The Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Westport-The Cove surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Westport-The Cove) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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 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. 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.
