Camaron Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Camaron Beach. It’s a point break that breaks fairly consistently, exposed to the southwest.

We’re starting off flat and poor. Monday afternoon, July 13th, there’s a small 3ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, but the wind’s onshore at 9 mph and the wave energy is weak (494). The water’s a warm 89°, much warmer than normal. Not worth a paddle.

Tuesday and Wednesday are a bust with tiny, weak swells and cross-onshore winds. Thursday stays poor. Friday morning is still tiny and onshore. The first week is a total loss.

There’s a chance on Saturday morning, July 18th, when a 5ft SW swell shows up with 13-second period and moderate energy (1039). But the wind’s cross-onshore, making it messy. Marginal at best.

The real winner is Sunday morning, July 19th. The swell drops to a clean 3ft from the SW, but the period goes to a beautiful 17 seconds – that’s real groundswell. The wind turns light and cross-offshore, glassy. The wave energy is still strong (736). This is your window for clean, lined-up waves. The light offshore breeze will keep the faces smooth. Because it’s a point break, that long period groundswell should wrap in nicely.

Monday morning, July 20th, keeps the goods coming with a 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds and near-calm offshore winds. Clean again.

The second week gets mixed. There’s a bigger 7ft SW swell on Wednesday, July 22nd, but it’s short period (13 seconds) and cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy and tough. The energy is high (1344), but the quality is poor. Same story for Thursday and Friday – bigger waves but messy winds. The last few days drop back down, with a long period 19-second swell on Sunday, July 26th, but cross-onshore winds ruin it.

For the best, go for Sunday morning, July 19th, and Monday morning, July 20th. Clean, fun-sized waves with light offshore winds. The rest is either too small or too choppy.
