Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown for the Cartagena - Jetty area (Cartagena-Jetty).
To be blunt, this 16-day forecast is a bust. The Jetty is an inconsistent break, and for the first ten days, the models are showin' a whole lot of nothing. The water temp is a balmy 85°, right about normal for the season, but that's the only bright spot.
From Thursday, July 2nd, all the way through to Tuesday, July 14th, it's a long, flat spell. We're lookin' at glassy mornings with barely a whisper of wind, and some afternoons where the north wind kicks up to 12-15 mph, but with no swell to push, it's just a waste of time. You'll see a tiny 3 ft wave from the north on the afternoon of Wednesday the 8th, but with onshore wind and a weak period, it's not worth the walk. There are a few mornings with clean, offshore breezes from the SSE, but again—zero surf.
The combined swell energy is zero for most of the run. We get a couple of readings hitting 231 and 212 on the 8th and 9th, which is moderate energy, but the wave comment still says "poor surf conditions". The swell from the north doesn't match the optimum northwest direction for this sheltered jetty, so it's just ugly.
So, the best call? There isn't one. There's no decent surf in this whole 16-day window. The only consistent thing here is the inconsistency. This is one of those dead runs that just happens here. Don't bother paddlin' out; forecasts can always change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
