Asuchillo Beach Break Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s shaping up.

The forecast is a slow burner for the next 16 days, but there are a few glimmers. The surf starts off small and the real quality comes in a few waves later on. There’s a bit of a gap at the start, with nothing really worth a paddle until the first day of September.

For the first few days, it’s all about building blocks. On Tuesday September 1st and Wednesday the 2nd, you’re looking at small 2ft – 3ft swell from the SW with a long period of 13-18 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting around 321 – 470. The morning sessions are the call with clean offshore NE winds and glassy conditions on Tuesday afternoon. Not big, but clean enough for a longboard or a funboard. The water is a warm 85°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

The first real standout is Friday September 4th. We get a solid pulse of SW groundswell pushing 4ft – 4ft, with a long 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to strong (1035 – 1169). The morning is the pick: clean, offshore NE winds at 9 mph. This is where the size and period start to get interesting, but it’s still manageable for most surfers.

Then, hold onto your board for Saturday September 5th. This is the best of the run. We’ve got 5ft of SW swell, consistent with a 16-second period. The combined energy is very strong at 1275. The morning is firing with a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, keeping the waves clean. The afternoon is also good with a cross-off wind. This is a quality day for experienced surfers.

After that, the swell backs down but stays rideable. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th have 3ft – 4ft SW swell with good offshore winds and glassy afternoons. The energy is moderate (450 – 728). You’ll get your share of clean waves.

The forecast is a bit quieter through the middle of the second week, with smaller 2ft – 3ft swell. But keep an eye on Thursday September 10th. A new long-period (18 seconds) SW swell arrives at 4ft, and the combined energy is very strong at 1519. The morning is excellent with a moderate offshore wind from the ENE. This one is for the experienced crew.

As for the break itself, Asuchillo Beach Break is a very consistent, exposed beach break that works best on a southerly swell. It’s a beginner-friendly spot at this size, but when the swell hits 5ft or more, it’s better left to the more skilled. Crowds are probable sometimes, so getting out early is your best bet. The optimum direction from the SW matches what we’re getting, so that’s a win.

That Friday September 4th morning and the Saturday September 5th are the true standouts. The 10th looks promising but is a long-range call, so less certain.

Rusty.
