The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down for Westport-The Cove (beach/jetty). There's a bit of a lull before we get into the real groove, but the wait is worth it.
The water temp is about 58°F, which is standard for this time of year – no surprises there.
Friday the 24th is a write-off with sloppy cross-shore wind, so just sit tight. First real surf shows up on Saturday morning, July 25th. That's a clean 2ft SW swell with a massive 23-second period, and the wind is offshore from the south. That long-period groundswell will have plenty of grunt, but it might run a little straight on a beach/jetty break. Energy is moderate. Saturday afternoon is the stand-out: the swell gets to 3ft out of the SW with a 21-second period, still clean with offshore wind, and the energy jumps way up. This is your window.
Sunday the 26th is just as good. Morning has light offshore wind with a clean 3ft SW swell. The afternoon pushes to 4ft from the SW with light cross-offshore winds – that’s glassy, clean, and punchy. Through early next week (Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th), we keep that clean 3ft SW swell and light winds. Perfect for a solid session.
Then the wheels come off. From Wednesday the 29th on, the wind shifts onshore and stays there. We get a long stretch of choppy, blown-out conditions through the first week of August. Even when the swell touches 4ft to 5ft on the 5th and 8th, the onshore wind makes it a mess – better for kiting than surfing.
The Pick: Saturday afternoon the 25th through Sunday the 26th of July is your call. Clean, chest-to-shoulder high SW swell with offshore wind and a long period that puts real energy in the water. Don't miss it.
