The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Westport-The Cove.
The waiting game is on this week, because the early days are nothing to write home about. We're looking at a stretch of small, weak surf to start, but don't you worry, the end of the month is packing a punch. The water temp here is sitting at 58°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Wednesday the 15th is a write-off. You've got a piddly 1ft swell, high period but from the wrong angle, and a cross wind messing it all up. Not worth getting wet. Even the tiny 2ft swell in the afternoon with onshore chop is a hard pass.
Thursday the 16th through Friday the 17th are better but still small. A clean 2ft swell from the West shows up. Thursday morning is looking clean with that gentle offshore from the SSW, and Friday morning is the clear winner with light offshore winds and a bit more energy. It's clean and rideable for a longboard or a foiler, but it's nothing to get excited about.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see the swell bump up, but the wind turns ugly. Saturday is a choppy mess with a short period 4ft wave and cross-onshore winds. Sunday morning the 19th is interesting, though. We've got 5ft of clean, cross-offshore swell, but the period is a short 9 seconds, making it a bit lumpy and disorganized. It'll be fun for the better crew on a bigger board.
Now, here's where it gets good. The real standout is Saturday the 25th of July. After a run of small clean swells from the 21st to the 23rd, and a decent 6ft morning on the 24th, Saturday the 25th delivers. We're talking 5ft to 6ft of solid WNW swell, clean and cross-offshore with light breezes. This is the day to circle. The waves will have some push, good shape, and there won't be that wind-ruined top. It's a proper session.
Sunday the 26th morning keeps the run going with 6ft and light offshore winds. It's a little bigger, heading towards that expert territory, but still clean. The afternoon falls apart with a cross-onshore, though.
Monday the 27th morning is the last true standout. Another clean morning, 5ft from the WNW and light cross-offshore breeze. It's a solid choice if you miss the weekend. After that, the swell drops again into the final days of July, with small, clean but less powerful waves on offer.
So, to sum it up: This spot has a slow start but a blinder of a finish. Don't bother before the 19th unless you are desperate. The real action is Saturday the 25th and Monday the 27th mornings. Those are your best bets.
