The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. We’ve got a long stretch ahead for Whitsand Bay and Tregantle, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough watch for the next week or so. The swell is tiny, the wind is a mess, and the scoreboard is empty. We’re looking at a real dry spell from now until the end of July and into the first few days of August. That’s a solid week or more with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Tuesday, 4th August. The water is a bit unusual for the time of year – it’s running much warmer than normal at 67° if you were in the water earlier, but for that Tuesday morning, it’s looking glassy with a calm wind. The swell is picking up to 4ft, coming from the WSW, and the combined energy is a solid moderate 220. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. The waves will have some push, but with a 7-second period, it’s a short-period wind swell, so don’t expect long walls. It’s a small window of clean conditions, so if you’re keen, that Tuesday morning is your best bet. The break is exposed to the SW, and the optimum direction is SW, so the swell direction is a good match. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t bank on endless waves, but when it’s glassy and there’s waist-high swell, it’s worth a look.
After that, the rest of the week into the second week looks pretty ordinary again. The swell drops right off, and the wind swings onshore or cross-shore for most of it. The morning of Wednesday, 5th August, has a 10-second period swell from the WSW, but it’s only 0.7ft with a weak energy of 20, and the wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not going to be doing much. The long-period groundswell that shows up later in the week – like Thursday, 6th August and Friday, 7th August – is coming from the SW with periods up to 12 seconds, but the heights are tiny at 0.3ft to 0.7ft, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. Too small to surf, and the long period won’t help at a beach break setup; it’ll just make it fat and straight.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for that Tuesday morning glass-off. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for proper surfing. The conditions are more suited to a kite if the wind picks up, but for us surfers, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
