The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what Westport-The Groins has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a bleak picture. The run of surf that’s actually rideable doesn’t really kick in until Wednesday, July 22nd. Before that, we’ve got a few days of nothing but poor surf conditions – messy, choppy, and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The combined swell energy is moderate but not doing us any favors with the wind going sideways. So, don’t bother paddling out on Saturday or Sunday.
Wednesday, July 22nd is where we finally see a glimmer of hope. The morning session is the one to target. Swell is around 4ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and we’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze (6 mph) cleaning things up. It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable and the conditions will be clean. The combined energy is moderate. This is your “get a few in” kind of day.
The standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, comes on Thursday, July 23rd. The morning will see the best conditions of the entire forecast. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the WNW, hanging onto that 9-second period. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, which will groom the waves nicely. The combined energy climbs to a solid 440. This is clean, shoulder-high surf with decent shape. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so getting out early is your best bet. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
From Friday the 24th onward, it gets messy again. The winds shift to cross or cross-onshore, and the swell quality drops right off. There’s a sliver of something on Saturday the 25th morning with a tiny 2ft swell and clean light winds, but it’s barely there. The rest of the window into the end of July and start of August is dominated by poor conditions, moderate to strong wind, and consistent cross-onshore chop. The combined swell energy actually gets quite high at times, but with 12-16 mph winds hitting you, it’s going to be a washing machine out there.
Honestly, for this break, that Thursday morning is your only real bet for a proper session. The rest is a write-off for paddle surfing unless the forecasts change.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Westport-The Groins may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
