Asuchillo Beach Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Asuchillo Beach Break. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s not for everyone. The standout is definitely the first couple of days, with some serious energy rolling in.

The real action kicks off Tuesday, July 28th. We’re looking at a proper SW groundswell with a long 18-second period, pushing 5ft of surf. The combined energy is pumping hard at 1710 (very strong), so this is no messing around. With the swell over 5ft, it’s too big for beginners, and if it were over 8ft, it’d be only for experts – we’re just under that warning line, but with that much power, only experienced surfers should be paddling out. The wind is offshore from the ENE in the morning, going glassy in the afternoon, so the conditions will be *clean*. This is a very exposed beach break, so expect a raw, powerful wave. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Keep in mind, with a period over 15 seconds, this long-period groundswell can make the waves a bit closey-outy at a beach break, but the energy is undeniable.

Wednesday, July 29th, the swell drops slightly to 5ft, but the period is still a very long 16 seconds. The combined energy is still strong at 1020. Again, offshore winds in the morning with a glassy afternoon. This is still a top-quality window for the crew that can handle it.

Thursday, July 30th, the swell backs off to 4ft, and the period drops to 14 seconds. The energy is now moderate (625). Friday and the weekend see the swell fade further, from 3ft down to 2ft, with periods dropping into the 12-13 second range. The winds stay offshore, but the wave quality is just “good” or “marginal” as the energy fades.

There’s a bit of a quiet spell through the first week of August, with the swell hanging around the 1ft to 3ft mark. The energy is low, and the conditions are ordinary. Not much to write home about.

Now, look ahead to Saturday, August 8th. This one is promising. The swell picks back up to 3ft with a 16-second period from the SW. The combined energy jumps to 599 (moderate). The winds are offshore, light, and clean. That’s a very solid day on the horizon. It’s a week and a half out, so keep your fingers crossed, but the signs are good.

After that, Sunday through to Wednesday, August 12th, the swell fluctuates but stays small, with periods of 13-14 seconds and energy in the 300-400 range. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

To wrap it up: the absolute best surf is on Tuesday, July 28th, and Wednesday, July 29th. That’s your window for powerful, clean, long-period SW groundswell. If you miss that, the next hopeful is Saturday, August 8th, but it’s a smaller version of the same thing.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
