Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s gonna be a tough stretch on Cape Cod. We’ve got a solid two-week window, but the surf just isn’t playing ball. The first real chance we get isn’t for over a week, and even then, it’s barely a pulse.
Let’s talk about what we *do* see. The only break on the radar is White Crest Beach (Wellfleet). It’s a sandbar setup, so consistency is a problem when the conditions aren’t perfect. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The whole first week is basically a write-off. Tuesday the 7th is a mess – heavy rain, howling onshore wind at 22 mph, and a weak 4 ft swell from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is just 93 – that’s weak. Wednesday the 8th is a little better in size, with a 5 ft swell from the E, but the wind is still onshore or cross-on, trashing any shape. The energy bumps up to 388, but it’s all mushy and messy. Through Thursday and Friday, the swell drops to knee-high or less, and while the wind goes offshore, there’s just no power.
We finally get a tiny window starting Saturday the 18th. The morning of the 18th, we’ve got a light offshore wind from the WSW at just 3 mph – that’s clean. The swell is tiny though, only 2 ft from the E with a 7-second period. The combined energy is a measly 46. It’s surfable, but only just. This continues through Sunday the 19th morning, with a 2 ft SSE swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. Again, clean but weak.
The afternoon of Friday the 17th is actually the best on offer. We get a 3 ft swell from the E with a clean cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 6 mph. The combined energy hits 94, which is the best we’ll see. It’s still very ordinary, and given the tiny size, it’s only for the most patient longboarders.
Honestly, if you’re after any punch, this isn’t the spot. The whole setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the wind picks up. The crowds are sometimes a thing here, but this stretch looks quiet because there’s nothing to crowd over.
Stay patient, folks. It tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
