Westport-The Cove Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Westport-The Cove has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. We've got a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it'll be worth paddling out.

Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty average. Thursday the 10th is a write-off with messy, choppy conditions and poor surf. Friday the 11th shows some potential though. The morning is marginal with a 5ft swell from the WNW and a 9-second period, but it's a bit crossed up. The real highlight on Friday is the afternoon: the swell drops to 3ft, but that's a long period 16-second groundswell from the SW with a light cross-offshore breeze. That'll clean things right up and give you some nice, lined-up waves. The water temperature is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

Saturday the 12th looks a bit messy with light rain and onshore wind, so don't get your hopes up. Sunday the 13th afternoon has a chance to be clean again with a 2ft SW groundswell and a cross-off breeze, but the swell is small.

Monday the 14th morning is a standout in the first week. We're looking at glassy conditions, 3ft from the WNW with a short 8-second period, and the energy is moderate (278). The wind is dead calm, so expect a slick, clean surface. It won't be huge, but for a quiet session, that's your call.

The middle of the week from the 15th through the 17th is mostly a bust with tiny swell and onshore winds. Then we get a nice run starting Friday the 18th through Saturday the 19th. Both mornings have offshore or cross-offshore winds and long-period SW groundswell (20-21 seconds). The waves are small, around 1ft to 2ft, but with that light breeze and clean conditions, it'll be super tidy. Perfect for a longboard or a fun log.

Now, looking further out, we have a couple of more promising but less certain days. Monday the 21st morning is glassy with a 3ft SW groundswell (18 seconds) and moderate energy (546). That could be a really clean, fun session if it holds.

The biggest swell of the period hits Tuesday the 22nd, with waves building to 6ft-6ft from the WNW. The energy is strong, hitting 1010 and 1205. However, the wind is cross-onshore both days, making it choppy and poor quality. That's more of a messy, powerful day for the experienced crew, and honestly, it might look more interesting for a kite session than a clean paddle session.

Finally, the best bet in the long range looks like Thursday the 24th morning. We've got glassy conditions with a 3ft groundswell from the W (13 seconds) and solid energy (551). That is a recipe for clean, fun waves. Then Friday the 25th morning also shows promise with 5ft from the WNW, a cross-offshore breeze, and very good surf conditions expected. Keep an eye on that one.

So, to sum it up: the standouts are Monday the 14th morning for a glassy small-wave session, and the long-range standout is Thursday the 24th morning for a clean, solid groundswell.

Stay stoked, and I'll see you in the water.
