Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
Looking at the whole 16-day stretch for Whitsand Bay and Tregantle, it’s a long, dry spell. The first thing worth mentioning doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 20th. Before that, you’ve got over two weeks of nothing but tiny dribble and junk wind.
From Sunday the 5th through Saturday the 19th of July, we’re looking at swell around 0.6 to 1.0 ft from the west or west-southwest. Periods are short, mostly 8 to 10 seconds, and the combined energy is weak – barely above 20 in most cases. Winds are cross-onshore or messy. On Thursday morning the 10th, it goes glassy but the swell is still just 1.0 ft – flat calm, not surfable. Offshore winds on the 9th and 14th clean it up but with no power, it’s pointless.
Sunday morning the 20th finally shows some bump. Swell hits 3 ft from the west-southwest, but the period is a terrible 5 seconds – junky windswell. Combined energy is still weak at 47. And it’s onshore at 6 mph. That afternoon gets a bit bigger at 4 ft, but period stays at 5 seconds and wind picks up to 16 mph onshore with light rain. Energy hits 102, but it’s messy.
Monday the 20th morning is where things get wild, but not in a good way. Swell jumps to 7 ft from the west, period 10 seconds, and combined energy rockets to 956 – strong energy. But the wind is a strong cross-shore at 25 mph from the northwest, creating messy cross-chop. That’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing. Expert only, and even then it’s a fight.
Water temp on the 5th was 63°F, which is about 3°F warmer than average – a touch warmer than usual. Not the issue, though. The issue is the complete lack of surf.
No standout days here. Whitsand Bay and Tregantle is a beginner-plus spot, exposed to the southwest, but it’s inconsistent and often crowded. Even when it’s flat, you might see people sitting out there hoping.
Flat spell, then a windy, bumpy spike. Not your time. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the garage.
Rusty.
