Cabrillo Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and have a listen. I’m lookin’ at the next couple weeks for the region and, honestly, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s pretty bleak. You won’t see much action at all across the full 16-day run, and what we get is small, weak, and messy. Conditions look poor right through, so don't expect to be waxing up your log in a hurry.

The first real sniff of anything, if you can call it that, shows up on Tuesday the 7th of July. There’s a tiny window where the score isn't a total zero. Even then, that’s only getting a marginal nod. We’re looking at a small 3 ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 18 seconds – that’s long-period groundswell, so it’ll have some push for a wave like Cabrillo Point, which is a sheltered point setup. The water is sitting at a balmy 68°, which is 5° above average, so it’s noticeably warmer than usual for this time of year. Tuesday morning has a light onshore breeze that should be workable. Wave energy is moderate but right at the lower end (459). It’s not going to be epic, but it’s your best look in a very quiet spell.

After that, it’s back to near-nothing. Swell sticks around the 2 ft to 3 ft range for days, but the wind is never quite right – cross, cross-on, and sometimes onshore. It’s poor surf conditions on repeat. Two weeks from now, on Wednesday the 15th of July, there’s a momentary oddity: late in the afternoon, a tiny 1.0 ft glassy window pops up. Wind goes dead calm with glassy conditions, and the swell period is 17 seconds, but it’s just too small to get excited about. Energy is weak (114). It’s a tease, really.

The bottom line: nothing here is a standout. Tuesday the 7th of July morning at Cabrillo Point is your only real shout, but keep your expectations on the floor. Everything else is a write-off. Be patient, mate – it won't stay this flat forever, but it’s a rough run.
