Carrizalillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down.

Carrizalillo is looking small to start, but there are plenty of clean, glassy mornings that’ll make the smaller stuff ride way better than the numbers suggest. The water temp is 87°F, so a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

Sunday the 12th is a no-go – thunderstorms, cross-shore wind, and small swell. Skip it.

Monday the 13th morning is the first good call. Winds go glassy from the ESE, and you’ve got a 3ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell, so the waves will have shape and punch, but expect longer lulls between sets. Swell energy is moderate (410). The afternoon turns onshore, so hit it early.

Tuesday the 14th morning – clear skies, glassy NW wind, 3ft SSW swell at 13 seconds. Energy is 449 (moderate). Another clean morning. Afternoon goes onshore.

Wednesday the 15th morning – dead calm, glassy, 3ft SSW swell. Energy is 293 (low-moderate). Perfect for a fun small-wave session.

Thursday the 16th morning – glassy again, 3ft SSW swell. Energy is 276. Same story – early bird gets the clean waves.

Friday the 17th morning – glassy, but swell drops to 2ft. Energy is 210 (weak). Surfable but ordinary.

Saturday the 18th morning – dead calm, 2ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period. That’ll give the waves extra push for the size, but at a beach break it can straighten out. Still fun for the size.

Sunday the 19th morning – 3ft SW swell, 17-second period, dead calm. Energy jumps to 505 (moderate). Another solid morning.

Monday the 20th morning – 4ft SW swell, 16-second period, but a cross-shore wind from the SE at 3 mph. Energy is 703 (moderate-strong). Not as perfect as the glassy days, but still surfable.

Tuesday the 21st morning – glassy, 4ft SW swell, 15-second period. Energy is 620 (moderate-strong). Good morning for an intermediate.

Wednesday the 22nd morning – 3ft SW swell, 14-second period, glassy. Energy is 275. Clean and small.

Thursday the 23rd morning – 2ft SW swell, 13-second period, glassy. Energy is 132. Small.

Friday the 24th – very small, 2ft swell, energy down to 82. Not worth it.

Saturday the 25th morning – 2ft SW swell with a huge 21-second period. Energy is 365 (moderate). That period is massive – it’ll have real power, but may close out at the beach. Glassy though.

Sunday the 26th morning – here we go. 4ft SW swell, 19-second period, glassy, and energy hits 959 (strong). This is the best session of the whole run. Clean, powerful, long-period groundswell. This is the one.

Monday the 27th morning – the absolute standout. 4ft SW swell, 18-second period, dead calm, and energy at 1037 (strong). That’s the top energy reading of the entire forecast. If you can only surf one day, make it the morning of Monday the 27th.

So, best bets: mornings of Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th, Wednesday 15th, Thursday 16th, Sunday 19th, Tuesday 21st, and then the big ones on Sunday 26th and Monday 27th. Keep an eye on the long-range stuff as it gets closer, but right now, those last two mornings look like the real deal.
