Campus Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. It’s a long-range look so keep that in mind, but right now we’ve got a stretch of small, clean waves on the horizon that should keep the loggers and the longboarders smiling.

We’re looking at a quiet start, with the first real action kicking off on Saturday afternoon, July 4th at Campus Point. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 64°F, sitting about 3°F above the long-term average for this time of year—so it’s pleasant, a little unusual, but good for a long session.

The standout window starts on Monday morning, July 6th. The swell is small, around 2 ft from the SSW, but here’s the kicker: it’s got a super long period of 16 seconds. That’s genuine groundswell energy, and combined with a light cross-off breeze, the wave quality should be clean and lined up nicely. The combined energy reading is 352, which is moderate but full of punch for that size. For a point break like Campus Point, that long-period swell is going to wrap in beautifully without breaking too straight. Crowds can be a thing here (often busy), but this is the pick of the first week. Tuesday morning, July 7th pushes up to 2 ft with that same long period and clean light winds—another top call with energy hitting 543.

There’s a period from around Wednesday, July 8th through Thursday, July 9th where the swell gets a bit short-period (9 seconds) and mixed, making it less compelling. The surf stays small and clean but it’s not the same quality.

The next little burst looks good from Sunday afternoon, July 12th into Monday, July 13th. We’ve got 3 ft from the WNW, period still short at 9 seconds, but the winds are clean cross-off and the energy is solid (around 280–287). It’s small but workable.

After that, there’s a lull for a few days with poor wind and onshore conditions, but by Friday afternoon, July 17th things clean up again. That session shows 2 ft from the WNW with a long 17-second period and light cross-off wind—another gem for the point. Combined energy of 343. The Saturday, July 18th and Sunday, July 19th sessions are also clean and consistent, with 2–2 ft and long-period SW/WNW swells, perfect for a relaxed paddle.

Overall, the best on offer is Monday morning, July 6th and Tuesday morning, July 7th—those are the true standouts with the long-period groundswell and glassy conditions. The later week (17th–19th) is also promising but a little further out, so don’t lock it in just yet.

Rusty.
