The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles.
Water temp is about 62°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year, so no complaints there.
First off, it’s a rough start. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way to Tuesday the 5th of August, the surf is just plain bad. We’re talkin’ waves barely 1 to 2 feet, short periods, and mostly cross-onshore or onshore wind. The wave energy is weak, in the 10 to 42 range. Don’t bother waxin’ up.
Then on Thursday the 6th of August, the afternoon brings a pulse to about 5 feet from the south, period 6 seconds, energy hits 145. Still a cross-onshore wind, though, and the comment says “poor surf conditions.” Not worth it.
Friday the 7th of August is where it gets serious. The morning has 8 feet from the WSW, period 8 seconds, and the energy is a massive 957. That’s strong. But the wind is onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Afternoon is the same size, 8 feet, but the wind stays cross-on. The scores are a 0 and a 1, so it’s only for the experts, and it’s gonna be a slog.
The best session is Saturday the 8th of August. The morning shows 6 feet from the WSW, period 8 seconds, energy 392 – strong. Wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, so the surface is clean. The comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the one. A little big for beginners, but for everyone else, it’s the standout. The afternoon drops to 5 feet, still clean with an offshore breeze, but the morning is the pick. Crowds are possible, so get there early.
Sunday the 9th of August is still rideable in the morning – 3 feet, offshore wind, energy 149 – but it’s ordinary. After that, it fades into weak, poor conditions through the 13th.
So, the first week is a total loss. The day to circle is Saturday the 8th of August, early. That’s your only real shot.
