Asuchillo Beach Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, this is Rusty. Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up. We’re in for a bit of a slow start, but the back half of the forecast has some real promise.

The first solid surf we see is on Monday 13 July morning at Asuchillo Beach Break. It’s a very consistent spot, exposed to the swell, and with a south-west swell pushing in at 2ft at 14 seconds. That’s a groundswell, and with a period over 11 seconds, it’ll have some proper energy – the combined energy reading is 324 (moderate). The wind is blowing offshore from the ENE at 15 mph, so the surface will be clean. The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – a bit of a warm one, but nothing too wild. The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s not a classic, but it’s the first real option.

The surf stays small through the week. Wednesday 15 July morning sees 2ft from the SW at 13 seconds, with the same clean offshore wind, and the combined energy is 298 (moderate). The comment says “expect good surf conditions,” so worth a look if you’re keen for a small-wave session. The crowds here are ‘sometimes’, so you might have company.

The best stuff is definitely in the second week. Let’s jump to Sunday 26 July – that morning we get 3ft from the SW at 19 seconds, a very long period groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 532 (strong), and the wind is offshore from the ENE at 15 mph. Clean, lined-up waves. The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” but that energy is undeniable. This is a standout.

But the real standout is Monday 27 July morning. Swell is 3ft from the SW at 18 seconds – still a long period groundswell, with combined energy of 629 (strong). The wind is offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, and the comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the pick of the whole outlook. The swell direction is from the SW, which matches the optimum for this break, so it’s hitting the spot just right. If you’re a beginner, 3ft is fine, but that long period (over 15 seconds) can make the waves a bit more powerful and straight at a beach break – it’s a point or reef that would really groove. Still, for a beach break, this is the best on offer.

After that, Tuesday 28 July morning still has 3ft from the SW at 16 seconds, combined energy 482 (strong), and offshore wind, so the run continues. But by the afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore, so morning is the call.

There’s a gap before the first surf – nothing worthwhile before Monday 13 July. After that, the surf is consistent but small, then builds nicely from the 26th onwards. Overall, it’s a slow start, but the last few days hold some real gems.

Keep your eyes on that Monday 27 July morning session – that’s the one.

Rusty.
