The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat spell ahead. We’re looking at a 16-day window and there’s really nothing to get excited about. The first few days are dead calm, with tiny little waves that won’t even get you out of first gear. The water’s feeling a lot warmer than usual for this time of year, about 67°, which is a solid 5° above normal. That’s very noticeable.
The first sniff of any real energy comes on Saturday the 26th of July morning, but it’s weak. The swell is a meagre 2ft from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is only 49 – that’s weak. The wind is cross-shore from the NW at 15 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. Not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 27th of July morning is a bit cleaner, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the N, but the swell is only 1ft from the WSW. It’s clean, but tiny. The energy is only 25. You might get a few knee-high rollers, but that’s all.
The rest of the week and into the start of August is a real struggle. There’s a little bump on Sunday the 2nd of August morning with a 3ft SSW swell and a 6-second period, but the wind is onshore from the SW at 15 mph, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. That’s a hard pass. The energy is a bit higher at 59, but it’s still weak and messy.
Monday the 3rd of August morning has a 2ft SW swell with a 6-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore from the W at 10 mph, making it choppy. Energy is 52. Still nothing to write home about.
The best of a very poor bunch is probably Thursday the 6th of August afternoon. We get a 3ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 4 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the SW at 20 mph. The energy is 51, but it’s going to be blown out and choppy. For Whitsand Bay and Tregantle, the setup is exposed and when the wind is on it like that, it’s honestly looking more like a kite session than a surf session.
Bottom line: there’s no standout here. The whole 16-day run is a flat, weak, mostly windy mess. If you’re desperate, you might find a tiny clean wave on the 27th morning, but don’t expect much. For this area, a blank run like this happens. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s grim.
Rusty.
