The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for good waves. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf ahead, so if you’re fiending for a proper session, you might want to manage your expectations.

The surf starts off on Saturday the 15th with some small, weak energy. We’re looking at a combined swell energy of 874, which is moderate, but the waves are only around 4ft. It’s coming from the SSW with a 16-second period, which is nice and long, but the wind is cross and the conditions are only marginal. Water temps are about 89°F, which is over five and a half degrees warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s going to feel like a bath out there.

Sunday the 16th is more of the same, with waves around 4ft and the swell energy dropping a bit to around 603-605. The wind is a bit more cross-on in the morning, but it cleans up slightly in the afternoon with a cross-shore breeze. Still, it’s a marginal call.

Monday the 17th sees the swell drop a touch to 4-4ft, but the morning wind is onshore, so it’s not great. The afternoon improves a little with a WSW cross breeze at 9 mph, but it’s still just not there.

From Tuesday the 18th through Friday the 21st, we’re in a real slump. Wave heights drop to around 2ft to 3ft. The swell energy is weak to moderate, mostly in the 300-500 range. There are a couple of windows, like Thursday afternoon the 20th when the wind goes cross-off and the ocean looks clean, but with only 3ft and a 13-second period, it’s not going to be worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a splash.

The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd keeps the poor conditions rolling. Saturday is choppy with cross-on winds, and Sunday morning has a risk of thunderstorms with onshore winds. There’s a longer period swell coming in on Sunday afternoon (18 seconds), but it’s only 2ft, so it’s just not showing any power.

The week of the 24th through the 28th is a write-off for quality. We get a bit more energy in the water, especially on the 28th when the combined energy jumps to 893 and then up to 1305, but that’s just from wind, not swell. The wind is howling from the east and the surf is blown out. The wave heights stay small, and the conditions are just plain poor.

The final weekend, the 29th and 30th, brings some bigger swell, with Saturday seeing waves up to 5ft and strong energy readings around 1303. But it’s all onshore wind and stormy, with the wind hitting 28 mph at times. It’s going to be a mess. By Sunday the wind dies down, but the waves are back down to 4-4ft and the conditions are still only marginal. Honestly, this looks more like a kitesurfing week than a surfing week for anyone not on a paddle board.

It’s a rough stretch, folks. There’s just no standout day in this entire 16-day window. The forecast can always change, and sometimes a little swell pops up when you least expect it, but as it stands, you might be better off finding another hobby for a while.

Stay salty,
Rusty
