The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty flat spell ahead for White Crest Beach. The next 16 days are a real bummer, not much to get excited about. Let's break it down.
The first few days are a no-go. Sunday the 26th kicks off with a 3 ft wind swell from the east, but that 16 mph cross-onshore wind is gonna chop it up proper. The combined energy is weak (155). Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are just as sad, with tiny waves and messy winds. We’re looking at a stretch of poor surf through the end of July.
Wednesday the 29th sees a bit more size, with a 5 ft to 6 ft easterly swell, but the period is a terrible 5-6 seconds. That's all short-period wind slop, and with a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind, it's going to be lumpy and hopeless. The energy jumps to moderate (117-267), but the quality is garbage. Thursday the 30th has the biggest swell of the period, 8 ft from the ENE, but it's accompanied by a strong 22 mph onshore wind and poor conditions. That's a messy, blown-out 8 ft – not worth your time, and honestly, looks more suited for a kite surfer than a paddler.
After that, we drop off a cliff. From Friday the 31st through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 10th of August, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft. The wind does clean up a bit, with some cross-offshore and even offshore flow on the morning of the 4th of August, but you’re looking at ankle-to-knee high waves. The combined energy stays weak (under 100). There’s a couple of sessions with clean conditions, like the morning of the 4th, but there’s just no wave energy to work with.
So, the honest truth: there are no standout days here, no "best on offer." The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. Water temp is about 67°F, which is normal for the time of year at White Crest Beach (Wellfleet). This is a sandbar break that's exposed, but it rarely sees consistent quality. A blank run like this, while frustrating, is more normal for the area during the summer doldrums. Hang tight, the forecasts can change.
Rusty.
