The Lowdown
Imperial Units
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Westport-The Cove.
The water is a bit cooler than normal for July, sittin’ at 57°F. You’ll feel that chill.
The first couple of days are a dud. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th are blown out with onshore winds and tiny, messy surf. The energy is there, but it’s all chopped up. Not worth your time.
Thursday the 16th morning finally gives us a break. A gentle offshore wind from the SSW cleans up a small 2ft swell from the west. It’s not big, but it’s clean. Friday the 17th morning is the real gem for the first week. Light offshore wind from the south, a 3ft swell from the west, and a 16-second period. That’s long-period groundswell energy (588) making those small waves punchy and fun. The Cove is a beginner-friendly spot, so this will be a super clean, playful session. Expect some company though, as it does get busy sometimes.
The weekend blows out. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th bring gusty cross-onshore winds and a bumpy 5ft swell with a short 8-second period. It’s just wind slop. Not worth paddling out.
Next week starts small again. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July drop back to a 2ft swell, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore on Tuesday. The waves will be small and clean. A nice little longboard wave.
The best on offer, and the standout for the whole outlook, is Saturday the 25th of July. That morning shows a 5ft swell from the WNW with a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong at 562. That’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the window. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s the clear winner. Sunday the 26th morning is also a solid 5ft with clean conditions and energy at 545. After that, the wind goes onshore and the surf fades out.
So, the call is: Thursday 16th and Friday 17th mornings for small, clean fun, and the absolute standout is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. Long-range, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising.
Rusty.
