Alright, Rusty here. Gonna level with you – most of this 16-day stretch at Westport-The Cove is average at best. This is a beach/jetty setup, decent swell exposure, but the wind’s gonna mess with it a lot. We’re picking through a few clean windows.
Your first real shot is Friday morning, 03 July. Clouds overhead, but winds go glassy out of the SSW at just 3 mph – that’s a huge positive. Swell is about 4 ft from the W, with a short 8-second period, so it’s not groundswell. Combined energy is moderate (314). For a beginner spot, that’s clean, easy, and fun. This is your standout window – get out Friday morning.
Then it gets rough. Friday afternoon, 03 July, the wind swings WNW at 9 mph (cross-on) and it goes choppy. Saturday 04 July has a tiny 2 ft SW groundswell with a sweet 15-second period, but the W wind at 9 mph puts a cross-chop on it. Sunday through Monday – same story: cross-on winds, waves not breaking clean, with swell bouncing from 3 ft to 4 ft but always blown out.
Another glimmer on Tuesday 07 July: morning and afternoon both have light cross-offshore winds (SSW and WSW at 6 mph) and the swell stays small at 2 ft, but the period jumps to 16 seconds Tuesday morning and hits a very long 20 seconds on Tuesday afternoon. Combined energy is strong (391–561). That kind of long-period groundswell is perfect for a jetty setup, and with near-calm winds, you’ll get smooth, lined-up waves. This is your second standout – Tuesday afternoon especially, with that 20-second period and glassy conditions.
From Wednesday 08 July on, it’s a grind. Wind locks in from the NW and WNW at 9–19 mph, always cross-on or cross, with the swell between 1 ft and 4 ft, but mostly messy chop. Even when the combined energy gets strong (500s–700s), the conditions are poor. Thursday 16 July sees the wind hit 19 mph from the NNW – fresh, lumpy, not worth it.
Water temp on Friday 03 July morning is 57°F, which is 2°F below normal – pretty average for this time of year.
Best bets: Friday morning 03 July and Tuesday 07 July. Glassy to light offshores, small clean swell, and you won’t be fighting crowds if you’re smart. The rest is wait-and-see. It rarely stays this poor for long around here – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
