Aviones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we're seeing a lot of mediocrity. The surf is almost always there, but the conditions are just not playing ball. The wind is the main problem. For day after day, we're getting moderate cross-shore breezes, often chopping things up. There's a real lack of that clean, glassy feel we all crave.

The first real chance of anything decent is on Wednesday, July 22nd. The wind swings to a cross-offshore direction, which cleans the surface right up. The swell is small, coming from the ENE at about 4 ft, but with a combined energy of 179 (moderate), it's got a bit of push. But even then, the forecast is calling it "poor surf conditions." It's a tease. Thursday the 23rd is similar, with clean conditions in the morning and a bit more energy in the afternoon (208), but still just a 4 ft wave. It's frustrating.

We then hit a long, dry spell. From Friday the 24th right through to the end of the month, it's all cross-shore winds and chop. The swell sticks around the 3 ft to 4 ft mark, but with that wind, it's just a messy, bumpy ocean. Not worth paddling out for.

There's a little flicker of hope on the final day of July, the 31st. The afternoon swings back to a clean cross-off breeze, but the waves are tiny, dropping to 3 ft with a weak energy reading of just 82. It's a long shot for a log.

The first week of August isn't much better. The cleanest conditions are on Sunday the 2nd, with some cross-off flow, but we're scraping the bottom of the barrel with 2 ft to 3 ft swells and energy in the 60s and 70s. That's barely a ripple.

The only thing that gets my attention is that by Monday the 3rd, the swell starts to build again, hitting 4 ft and the combined energy jumps to 218 (moderate). But, and it's a big but, the wind is back to a cross-shore, ruining the party. It stays like that through Tuesday and Wednesday the 5th, with the swell pushing up to 5 ft, but again, that cross-shore wind is relentless. Even with moderate energy (216, 228), the quality is just not there for a good paddle.

So, the honest truth is there's no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. We're waiting for the wind to play nice. For now, it's a waiting game.

Rusty.
