Campus Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s ahead for the only spot with any real action in the forecast.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start and the next week and a bit is pretty ordinary. The first real window of interest doesn't kick in until the Thursday morning, July 16th, when we start to see some cleaner lines. Before that, we’ve got a few days of tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. The wait is on.

The best of the best, the standout run, is looking like the afternoon of Friday, July 24th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. You’ll get clean, cross-off winds and a solid 4ft swell from the S, with a very strong energy reading (773). That’s a proper point break session in the making. The morning of the 25th also has some punch with 5ft from the S, but the wind is a bit more cross, so the afternoon is cleaner.

Campus Point is your only play here. It’s a fairly consistent point break that handles a W to WNW swell best. For the first week, the swell is tiny and weak, mostly under 2ft and with combined energy barely cracking 200-300 (moderate). The standout around July 19th-21st afternoons sees some cleaner 2ft to 3ft swell from the SSW with a gentle cross-off breeze, making for a few fun, clean waves. Nothing heavy, but it’s ridable.

The real action, as I said, is on the 24th and 25th. That 4ft to 5ft swell from the S with a 13-14 second period is a proper groundswell. The energy readings are in the 700-1000 range (strong to very strong). This is a point break, so that long period is going to wrap in nicely and give you some long, clean walls. The wind on the 24th afternoon is light and cross-off—absolutely glassy conditions. The 25th afternoon has a moderate breeze but is still clean. Crowds are often, so expect company for those sessions.

Water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no need to stress about a wetsuit.

Stay patient, save your energy for that last week of July.

Rusty, signing off.
