Asuchillo Beach Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks at Asuchillo Beach Break.

We’re kicking off Monday July 20th with a bit of a slow start, I gotta be honest. The swell is small at 2ft from the SW with a long 16 second period. The combined wave energy is weak (420), and the wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE, so the surface will be clean. But the overall quality is just not there yet – it’s a marginal setup. This continues through Tuesday and into Wednesday, with the swell dropping to 2ft and the period fading to 13 seconds. Energy drops into the low hundreds (186), and the conditions are poor. It’s a bit of a frustrating start, but we’re not out of the game.

The first real sign of life shows up on Friday, July 24th. The morning has a 3ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 24 seconds – that’s some proper long-period groundswell. The energy is solid (869), and the wind is a gentle offshore from the NE. The water is a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year. This is a nice setup, but the long period will make it break a bit straight on the beach, so keep that in mind. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind.

The standout for the whole forecast period is Saturday, July 25th. The morning is glassy – total glass with the wind from the ESE at only 3 mph. The swell is 3ft from the SW, with a long 21 second period. The energy is pumping (998). This is about as clean as it gets, and the waves will have real shape. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off breeze. This is your best bet for the first week, no doubt.

Sunday July 26th through Tuesday July 28th sees the swell building. We get 4ft to 5ft SW swell, with periods of 18-19 seconds. The energy jumps into the four-figure range (1162 to 1590), which is strong. The wind is offshore or cross-off every session. This is expert territory once the swell hits over 5ft – it’s a powerful, long-period groundswell that will be a handful on the beach break. For experienced surfers, this is excellent. The waves will be big, clean, and have plenty of punch.

The swell holds through Wednesday July 29th at 5ft, then starts to ease into the end of the month. Thursday July 30th still has a solid 4ft SSW swell with a 14 second period, still good for experienced surfers. The energy is dropping but still decent (716). The wind holds offshore.

The first week of August sees a drop in size. Swell stays around 2ft to 3ft from the SW. The wind is mostly offshore, and we get a couple of glassy sessions on Monday August 3rd and Tuesday August 4th. The energy is moderate (316 to 426). It’s not the fireworks of the big swell days, but you’ll find clean, rideable waves if you’re not looking for a heavy session.

So, to wrap it up – the best day on offer without a doubt is Saturday July 25th for the glassy, clean, moderate swell. The second best run is the Monday July 27th through Wednesday July 29th window for the experienced crew looking for bigger, cleaner, powerful surf. The second week settles into a more mellow, clean pattern.

Rusty signing off.
