The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, looking at what’s cookin' for Westport-The Cove over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some real gems hidden in there if you’re keen to wait for 'em.
The pattern starts off pretty ordinary. The first few days are a write-off with bumpy, onshore winds and only small, weak swell. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than what we normally see at this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus. But the surf? Nah, not worth paddling out for until we get a bit further into the week.
The first real standout, and the best on offer in the whole outlook, is gonna be Thursday, the 6th of August. Morning session is the pick. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a light cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is solid at 542 (moderate), and the wind is just right to keep the surface glassy. This is the one you set your alarm for.
Friday, the 7th of August, is another decent shout. The morning again looks good with clean conditions and a 2ft WNW swell, wave energy at 405 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. Not quite as punchy as Thursday, but still a good session.
After that, the surf quality drops off again. Winds turn more onshore and the swell gets a bit messy. There’s a long gap with nothing really worth chasing until we get further out. The second week features smaller, long-period SW swells, but the wind is always a problem. There’s a moment on Saturday, the 15th of August, where the morning looks clean again with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 0.6ft. That’s barely a ripple, so it’s only for the longboarders or the dedicated.
Keep in mind, Westport-The Cove is a beach/jetty setup that can get crowded sometimes, so if you’re heading out on the good days, expect some company. The short period swell (under 8 seconds) we see early on won’t give you the best shape, but when that period pushes up over 14 seconds later in the outlook, it’s proper groundswell. That long-period stuff can be a bit tricky on a beach break, but with the right bank, it’ll be a treat.
So, bottom line: Thursday the 6th of August morning is your best bet. Get out there.
