Campus Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya what’s cookin’ for Campus Point over the next couple of weeks.

First off, we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some windows of fun surf if you pick your moments. The water temp is sittin’ about average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild on that front. The combined energy readings are mostly in the moderate range, around 400 and change when it’s good, droppin’ into the 100s when it’s weak.

The standout run looks to be Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th. Monday morning brings a clean 4ft south swell, with a 13-second period (437 energy). That’s a proper groundswell, long lines, and the wind is a light cross-off breeze – glassy, clean conditions. Monday afternoon holds similar quality, 4ft at 12 seconds. That’s your best bet right out of the gate. Tuesday morning is a little smaller at 3ft, still clean, but the energy drops (249). Still very surfable.

After Tuesday, the size fades. Wednesday and Thursday see tiny swell, under 2ft, with big periods (17–19 seconds) but weak energy, not enough to get excited about. The wind stays light and cross-off or cross, but the waves just aren’t there. Friday morning has a marginal 2ft with a 16-second period (281 energy) – it’s a maybe day.

Then we hit a gap. Friday afternoon through Saturday the 12th you get some lumpy, short-period windswell from the WNW, with a 5ft pulse on Saturday afternoon (325 energy). But the period is only 6 seconds – that’s messy, choppy, and the wind is a moderate cross-off. Not really a paddle session; more like a kite day if you ask me. Sunday the 13th afternoon cleans up a bit: 6ft WNW at 7 seconds (399 energy), still short-period but bigger and cleaner. That could be fun if you like a punchy, fast wave, but it’s not a classic point break day.

Monday the 14th is mostly small and poor again. The next real glimmer is Tuesday the 15th afternoon: 5ft WNW at 6 seconds (269 energy) and glassy, light cross-off wind. That’s a short, punchy wave but clean.

From the 16th to the 22nd, it’s a long stretch of tiny surf, mostly under 2ft, with long periods but very weak energy (100–200 range). A few afternoons on the 19th and 21st show 2–3ft with 17–18 second groundswell and clean cross-off winds, but the size is so small it’s only worth it for a log or a longboard. The best of that weak run is Monday the 21st afternoon: 3ft, 17 seconds, clean.

Overall, your best bet is Monday the 7th through Tuesday morning. That’s the clear winner. The rest is a mixed bag of short-period lumps, tiny groundswell, and plenty of days where you’re better off doin’ somethin’ else.
