The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We're looking at a bit of a weird stretch. The next few days are a write-off, but there's a little window of clean surf early next week, and then a big, powerful pulse shows up deep in the forecast. You gotta be patient.
The first window worth paddling out for is on Monday, July 27th. The morning is the clear winner. We've got a clean 5.2ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a nice 10-second period. What really makes it, though, is the light NNW cross-offshore breeze. That's going to keep the surface glassy and the waves lined up. The combined energy is moderate at 472, so there's some push behind it. This is solid for an intermediate surfer. The water temp is sitting around 65.3°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, it gets marginal again. There's a little pulse of energy on Tuesday, August 2nd and Saturday, August 8th, but the wind is the problem. On the 2nd, we see a 7.9ft W swell at 11 seconds, with a massive 1269 combined energy, but that cross-onshore wind is going to chop it up. It's a messy, powerful mess. The 8th is similar, with a 7.5ft W swell and a massive 1493 combined energy, but even with a clean cross-offshore wind from the North, the forecast calls it marginal. It's a lot of water moving, but it might be too much for the setup, and it's for experts only if it's manageable.
Honestly, the standout is the Monday morning, July 27th session. That's the one to circle. The swell is well-sized, the wind is perfect, and it's the cleanest we'll see in the whole forecast. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a waiting game with a few big, windy, or messy swells that are hard to trust.
