The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks down at Whitsand Bay and Tregantle.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you. The next week and a half is looking pretty tough. We’ve got a long dry spell of poor surf conditions ahead. From Saturday the 25th all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August, there’s just nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, and messy. The water is sitting at a balmy 67°F, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal, so it is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there are no waves to ride.
Finally, things start to stir on Tuesday the 4th of August. We see a bit of a pulse come through in the morning. It’s a bit of a stormy window with moderate rain, but the swell jumps up to 5ft from the SW with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 472 – that’s strong energy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE at 16 mph. That’s the standout moment. The waves will be punchy and a bit raw, but for a beach break that’s a good thing. This swell is over 5ft, so it’s going to be a bit much for the beginners, but intermediate to advanced crew will have some fun. The afternoon cleans up a bit with light rain and offshore wind from the NE, but the swell drops to 3ft.
After that, it fizzles out again. The rest of the run through to the 9th of August is back to small, weak, and messy conditions. You’re looking at 0.3ft to 1ft and poor surf. The wind stays mostly cross or cross-on, so it’s not going to be worth the trip.
So, the only real chance to score is on Tuesday the 4th of August. It’s not a perfect setup, but it’s the only window with any power. The rest of the forecast is a write-off, so keep an eye on the charts, but honestly, this one looks like a bit of a bust for the next two weeks.
Rusty.
