The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the forecast for Westport-The Cove over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sittin' right on average for this time of year, so you won't need any extra rubber or less of it.
Honestly, it's a bit of a slow burn to start. We've got a few days of onshore junk and sloppy conditions before we see any real quality. The first real glimmer of hope is on Thursday morning, July 30th. The swell is small, only 3 ft from the SW, but with a long 16-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze, it'll be glassy and lined up. The combined energy is moderate (432), so there's a bit of push behind it. It's a beginner-friendly spot on a good day, but don't expect much size.
The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Friday, August 7th. We see a solid 7 ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a moderate 9-second period. The combined energy is strong (739), so there's plenty of grunt. The kicker is a light SW cross-offshore breeze, making for clean, groomed faces. That's a tasty combo for a beach/jetty setup, but at 7 ft, this is getting into expert territory – it's a bit too meaty for beginners. Keep an eye on the crowds, as it's known to get a bit busy sometimes.
Before that, the morning of Thursday, August 6th offers a 6 ft WNW swell with a light cross-shore wind, but the forecast is a bit marginal on quality. The Saturday morning, August 8th and Sunday morning, August 9th are also worth a paddle, with 6 ft and 5 ft WNW swells respectively and clean cross-off breezes, solid options for the intermediate crew.
The rest of the window is a write-off. From the 10th onward, it's mostly onshore winds and poor conditions, or the swell drops right off with more windswell. The long-period swells that show up later (like the 16-second SW on the 13th) are blown out by fresh cross-onshore winds, so no good. It's pretty lean for the second week.
Overall, the first week of August has a couple of cracking mornings, but the 7th is the one to plan for. Stay patient.
Rusty.
