The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, looking at the whole picture for White Crest Beach (Wellfleet), it’s a grim stretch. We’re looking at a long run of poor surf conditions with very little to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at about 68°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to even get wet doesn’t pop up until Thursday, the 30th of July. Even then, it’s barely a pulse. Thursday afternoon sees a glassy, flat calm surface with a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the SE. The period is a mediocre 9 seconds, and the combined energy is only 137 (moderate). It’s surfable, but just barely. You’ll be scratching for scraps.
After that, it’s right back to the doldrums. The next glimmer doesn’t come until Monday, the 3rd of August. Monday afternoon offers another glassy session, this time with a 2ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period. The energy is a weak 76. Again, it’s surfable but very ordinary.
Honestly, the standout, if you can call it that, is the Thursday afternoon session on the 30th. It’s the only time the wind really cooperates, going dead calm and glassy. But with the swell so small, it’s really just a chance to sit on the board and enjoy the quiet. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. There’s a massive gap from the 31st of July all the way to the 3rd of August with nothing worthwhile, and then it’s more of the same flatness. The breaks are exposed, but the energy just isn’t there. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get a few knee-high dribblers, but don’t expect any real waves.
Rusty.
