Table - best surf conditions forecast for White Crest Beach (Wellfleet) over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's brewing for White Crest Beach (Wellfleet).
Alright, look, I'll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real struggle for this stretch of sand. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn't show up until Thursday morning, the 16th of July. Until then, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing.
The water is sitting at 68° right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing if you do get in.
Let's run through it. Wednesday the 8th is a write-off – 5ft of east swell but with a cross-onshore wind that's just ruining it. The combined energy is only moderate at 300. Thursday the 9th morning, we get a tiny window. A 3ft east swell, period of 8 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is weak at 127, but it's the most surfable it'll be for a while. After that, it just drops off a cliff. Friday the 10th morning has a 2ft east swell, clean but tiny. Then from Saturday the 11th all the way through Wednesday the 15th, we're talking about waves under 2ft. Complete flat spell.
Now, the standout, and I mean the only real highlight, is Thursday the 16th. Both morning and afternoon, we get a glassy calm – wind is basically zero. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak at 44 and 46. They are surfable waves but very ordinary conditions. It's not going to be epic, but if you're desperate for a滑水, this is the only time you'll find clean, crumbly little waves. Friday the 17th is back to poor, with a cross-shore wind.
The second week looks even worse. From Saturday the 18th right through to Thursday the 23rd, it's all under 2ft, mostly with onshore or cross-onshore winds. There's a little glimmer on Sunday the 19th afternoon – glassy but only 1ft. And again on Monday the 20th morning, glassy with a 2ft swell, but the energy is weak at 50. Honestly, it's pretty grim. For a beach break like this, a blank run this long is just normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
