Table - best surf conditions forecast for Westport-The Cove over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Westport-The Cove. It’s a pretty grim run, to be honest. The forecast is packed with onshore winds and messy conditions, and there’s a quiet gap right at the start. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 16th, so we’re looking at nearly a week of waiting.
Even then, it’s not a big swell. Thursday, July 16th morning is the pick of a very average bunch. A light WSW breeze keeps it cross-off and clean, with a 2ft swell from the west, groundswell period of 19 seconds, and moderate wave energy (461). The swell is small, but that long period will give it a bit of shape and real push. For a beginner-friendly beach/jetty break, it’s about as good as it’s going to get in this window. A light breeze on a clean surface is a major positive here.
Friday, July 17th morning is similar—clean again with a light SW cross-off, 2ft west swell, 16-second period, and moderate energy (487). It’s worth a look, but it’s not a standout by any stretch.
After that, the wind swings back onshore from the northwest for days, and the swell gets messy. The water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The rest of the run into the second week is disappointing. You’ll see heaps of swell energy—like on Wednesday, July 23rd morning, there’s 6ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and a strong 698 combined energy, but it’s all cross-on choppy, rough, and unrideable. The Saturday, July 26th has a 3ft south-west swell with a very long 20-second period, but the cross-on wind ruins it. That long period would be great for a point or reef, but here at a beach/jetty with onshore wind, it’s just a clean up.
Honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. If you’re desperate, the Thursday and Friday mornings in the first week are your only chance for a session. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off.
Rusty.
