Table - best surf conditions forecast for Westport-The Groins over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get one thing straight: if you’re looking for a classic Westport session over the next couple of weeks, you’re going to have to work for it, and even then, the windows are narrow. The Groins is a sheltered, beginner-friendly spot, but it’s really going to feel the brunt of the persistent northwesterly winds that are set to dominate. The water is sitting at 56°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget the extra rubber.
The only real standout, and the one you should pencil in, is Saturday the 11th of July. That afternoon, a moderate offshore wind from the SSW is blowing at 12 mph, cleaning up a 4 ft swell from the WNW. The energy is moderate (461), and the period is a respectable 10 seconds, so you’ll find some fun, lined-up waves. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean. Just be aware that this spot can get crowded sometimes.
After that, the surf quality drops off a cliff. Sunday the 12th through to Wednesday the 22nd of July is mostly a write-off thanks to a persistent run of cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell sticks around, but the wind just ruins it. There are a couple of mornings where the wind looks lighter, like Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th, with clean conditions and a little swell from the west, but the energy is still moderate and the swell is small. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
Later in the outlook, we get a bit of a pulse in the swell energy, but the wind remains a problem. Wednesday the 22nd of July morning has a clean look with a 4 ft swell from the WNW, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit crumbly. Expect ordinary conditions. The following week, from the 24th out to the 26th, sees some very long-period groundswell from the SW popping up, with periods of 20-26 seconds, but again, the wind is cross-on from the NW. The energy kicks up, hitting 692 on the 26th, but the waves will be messy. For such a long period, The Groins might not handle it as well as a point break would, and the wind will make it a tough paddle.
So, keep your expectations low. The best bet is straight up on Saturday the 11th. After that, you’re hunting for those rare, clean windows in the mornings. It’s a tough run for the area, but it won’t stay this way forever.
Rusty.
