Table - best surf conditions forecast for White Crest Beach (Wellfleet) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch here. We’re lookin’ at a long, long dry spell. For the first week and a half, the surf is basically non-existent. There’s a whole heap of days with tiny, weak waves and poor surf conditions that just aren’t worth paddling out for. The break we’re keeping an eye on is White Crest Beach (Wellfleet). It’s a sandbar setup, pretty exposed, and it’s fairly consistent in general, but this forecast is a rough one. We’re talkin’ from Sunday, July 12th right through to Saturday, July 25th with nothing but small, junk swell. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, keepin’ it choppy and messy. You’d be better off stayin’ home.
Patience is the name of the game here. There’s a long gap with no real surf on offer, but that’s just how it goes sometimes.
Now, finally, on Monday, July 27th, we get a little glimmer. The morning is lookin’ like the best we’re gonna get. We’ve got a glassy, clean surface with a calm wind, and a small 2ft swell from the SSE. The combined energy is still pretty weak at 67, but it’s surfable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year. It’s not a standout, not by a long shot, but it’s better than the total flatness we’ve had. The swell direction is S, which is a bit off from the optimum SE, but beggars can’t be choosers. Crowds are possible here, but with waves this small, it might just be a few other die-hards.
So, the only real window to get a little wet this entire outlook is Monday morning, July 27th. It’s not gonna be epic, but it’s the only option on the table.
Rusty.
