The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a real tough one.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. For the first week and a half, from now through to about the 13th of August, the waves are just about non-existent. It’s a real bummer, with nothing but tiny, weak leftovers. You’ll be staring at a lot of flat, messy water. The only real glimmer comes on the 4th of August, Tuesday morning. White Crest Beach (Wellfleet) will see a little bump of 2ft from the SSE, and with the wind swinging offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, it’ll be clean. The combined energy is a weak 58, so it’s not going to be any kind of classic, but for a beginner just wanting to get wet, it’s the only game in town. The water is sitting at 67°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no worries there.
After that, it’s back to the sand. The swell tries to pick up on the afternoon of the 3rd, hitting 6ft from the S, but that comes with a strong 22 mph cross-off wind and a short period, making for poor, blown-out conditions. Definitely not worth the paddle out.
Things don’t get any better until we jump ahead to the 14th of August. Even then, it’s small, with a max of 3ft on the afternoon of the 13th from the ENE, but the wind is still messy. Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, the best bet is that Tuesday morning on the 4th. It’s not a standout, it’s just the only option.
Rusty.
