Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming down the pipe. To be straight up with you, this is one of those forecasts where you might want to keep the board in the shed for a while.
We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. The combined swell energy is barely registering, with values mostly in the single digits or low tens – for example, a pathetic 10 (moderate wave energy) for much of the first week. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so don't expect any unusual warmth to cheer you up.
Whitsand Bay and Tregantle is the only spot on the menu, and it’s an inconsistent one at that. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. From Friday the 3rd right through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at swell heights under 2.0 ft, with short periods and poor surf conditions. The wind is all over the shop – onshore, cross-onshore – making a mess of things. There's a Monday morning on the 13th July that sees a bump to 2.0 ft from the WSW with a 12-second period and more energy (132 – moderate wave energy), but it’s blown out by a moderate cross-shore chop in the afternoon. Still, that morning session with cleaner conditions might be the best bet of the whole run, though it's still small.
After that, it fades back to tiny, weak waves with onshore winds again. There’s no standout, no magic window. If you’re desperate for a splash on the 13th, go early and keep your expectations low. But honestly, this is a long, flat run. It’s the kind of forecast that makes you think about cleaning your wetsuit rather than waxing your board.
