Alright folks, it’s Rusty. I’ve chewed over the data for Whitesand Bay, and I’m not going to sugar-coat it – it’s looking bleak for quite a while.
The first two weeks are basically a desert. Starting Friday, July 3rd, right through to the middle of the month, we’ve got almost no surf. The wave heights are tiny, most under 1ft, and the swell energy is barely registering – all those combined numbers are in the weak category, way under 100. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so the surface is chopped and messy. No point even looking at it.
We finally see some life on Saturday, July 18th. The morning brings a 7ft swell from the SW with an 8-second period. The energy jumps to 611 (moderate). It’s a bit of a pulse, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NW, so it won’t be glassy. That size is over 5ft, so it’s getting into the too-big-for-beginners zone. By the afternoon, it’s pushing 8ft, same direction, with a 9-second period, and the energy is at 1017 (strong). That is big, expert-only territory. The wind shifts to onshore from the W, so it’s going to be a wild, choppy mess. The direction is pretty much on the money for this spot, but the wind will ruin the shape.
So, the one and only chance to get wet is that Saturday the 18th, and it’s a long shot for a clean wave. It’s a big, windy, expert-only affair. For everyone else, the board stays in the garage.
Rusty.
