Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Asilomar. Over this whole 16-day run, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing special. The first real chance to even paddle out doesn’t show up until Monday the 6th of July, but even then it’s a marginal call at best.
Monday morning the 6th is the first mention, with a small 3ft SSW groundswell at a very long 16 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate (725), but don’t get too excited. The wind is a cross-onshore from the WNW at 9 mph, which is going to chop things up. Water temp is 60°F, which feels a touch warmer than average for this time of year. This is a beach and reef setup that needs light winds to be any good, and it just doesn’t have it here.
From there, it’s a grim picture. For the rest of the first week and into the second, the forecast is consistently labelled as “poor surf conditions.” The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, mostly moderate breezes, and it ruins what little swell there is. There is a brief bump in height on the afternoon of Thursday the 9th – 6ft from the WNW – but with a short period of just 9 seconds and onshore wind, the quality will be terrible. That combined wave energy hits a strong 910, but it’s a messy, blown-out mess. For a break like Asilomar, this kind of onshore wind makes it look more interesting for kite surfers than those of us with paddles.
The entire run from the 6th of July right through to the 21st of July is a write-off. There are no standouts here. You’re looking at around two full weeks with nothing worth chasing. The swell stays small, the periods are either too short and weak, or too long and blown out. The energy readings are mostly in the moderate range (400s to 900s), but without clean wind, it’s worthless.
Forget it. The board stays in the car. Sometimes it’s like this here – a blank run is more normal than you’d hope. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn’t even bother waxing up.
Rusty.

Information about the Asilomar Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Asilomar provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Asilomar can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Asilomar surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Asilomar) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Asilomar may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Asilomar is 3 km (2 miles) from Pacific Grove. If you plan a vacation in Monterey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Pacific Grove. Pacific Grove has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
