The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. It’s Rusty here.
Alright, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag for the next 16 days at Wests and Seconds. The first week has some promise, but a lot of it is messy. The second week drops off into a long stretch of nothing much. The water is sittin' close to 62°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so just a standard wetsuit.
The best on offer is actually Monday morning, July 20th. The swell is a solid 5ft from the SSW with a juicy 13-second period, kickin' up a moderate wave energy (787). Combine that with a clean, offshore NNW wind at 19 mph, and you’re looking at very clean, lined-up waves. It’s an advanced spot, and with the crowds just a "sometimes" thing, you might get a few good ones to yourself. That’s the standout.
Monday afternoon holds up alright with 5ft from the SSW, but the wind swings to a light cross-onshore, so it’ll get a bit bumpy.
Tuesday, July 21st is a write-off. The wind is howling from the WSW at 12 mph, making it messy and cross. The swell is 5ft from the SW, but the quality’s gone.
Wednesday, July 22nd is big, with 10ft of SS swell coming in, but it’s onshore from the S, and the energy is through the roof (5394). That’s a real mix of power and wind. The long 15-second period means it’ll be a heavy, straight-closing beast at a beach break. Unless you’re an expert, stay off it. The swell drops to 8ft in the afternoon, but it’s still onshore and messy.
Thursday, July 23rd is a nice window. The morning has 7ft from the SSW with a cross-shore breeze from the E at 6 mph. The combined energy is 1847, so it’s got some punch. It’s a bit of a clean-up, but it’s a good option.
Friday, July 24th is small and clean. Morning has 4ft from the SSW with a nice offshore NNW breeze. The afternoon turns glassy with 4ft, a lovely little session for the log.
Saturday, July 25th is small, 3ft from the SSW, but the afternoon has a clean offshore N wind. It’s a good day for the longboard if you’re keen.
Now, from Sunday, July 26th through to Sunday, August 2nd, it’s a long, dry spell. The swell drops to 2ft or less, often with strong winds. A few days like Monday, July 27th have 5ft, but it’s onshore and messy. Tuesday, July 28th has a bigger 8ft S swell, but the wind is cross-shore, making it a bit of a chop-fest.
Wednesday, July 29th has a decent 7ft S swell with a clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy is strong (2934). It’s a good wave for the crew who can handle the size.
The last real standout is Thursday, July 30th. The morning brings 5ft from the S, with a clean offshore NNE wind at 16 mph. The combined energy is 957, so it’s got some life. That’s a promising session for the advanced crew.
From Friday, July 31st onward, the swell drops to tiny 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is either onshore or too strong. It’s a flat spell, and the last week of the forecast is a dead zone. Monday, August 4th has a 5ft swell from the SSW, but with a strong onshore wind from the SW at 25 mph, it’s a mess. More of a kite session than a paddle session.
So, to sum it up: get out on Monday morning, July 20th, and keep an eye on Thursday, July 30th. The rest is a long stretch of average to poor.
Rusty.
