Campus Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk about what we got here. Campus Point is the only spot in play. It's a point break, pretty consistent, and it likes a west swell.

The water temp is a balmy 71°F, that's 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. Feels like bathwater.

Right out the gate, the first few days are a dud. The swell is tiny and the wind is onshore from the SSE, just making a mess. Not worth the drive.

From Wednesday the 16th through Friday the 19th, it stays poor. The swell drops to a tiny 1ft from the SW. It's got a very long period, over 16 seconds, which at a point break can be okay, but the wave energy is low to moderate and the wave height is just too small to do anything with. The afternoons are clean with cross-off wind, but there's nothing to ride.

The first good window kicks off Sunday the 20th. The swell picks up to 2ft from the SW, period still long at 18 seconds. The morning session is the call – light cross-off wind, and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." The energy is moderate. It's not pumping, but it'll be clean and fun for a longboard.

You want the best of the whole forecast? That's Monday the 21st. The morning is glassy with barely a breath of wind, cross-off. The swell holds at 2ft from the SW, the period drops a touch to 17 seconds, and the energy jumps to 411. That's the most juice we see in the whole run. It'll be clean, organized, and probably the best wave shape on offer. The afternoon will still be fun, but the morning is the stand-out.

After that, it's back to mediocrity. Through the rest of the week and into the next, the swell hovers around 2ft to 2ft from the SW. The period keeps dropping, and so does the energy. The wind stays mostly light and cross-off, keeping it clean, but the waves are just small and weak.

For the groms and beginners, those small, clean days later on are perfect. For anyone wanting a real wave, circle the 20th and 21st. With these small swells and clean conditions at a point break, it's a longboard paradise for a couple of days, then a mellow paddle for the rest. Not a kiting spot; it's just a chill, small-wave hang.
