The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you, mate. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next 16 days for White Crest Beach down in Wellfleet. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch – we’re talkin’ a real dry spell for most of it. The sandbar setup here is beginner-friendly, but the swell just isn’t cooperating. The water’s sittin’ around 67°, which is pretty average for July, so no surprises there.
Right off the bat, from Friday the 17th through the 24th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny flurries of energy – like 0.3 ft to 2.6 ft – with messy cross-shore winds and choppy conditions. The biggest pulse comes on Wednesday
