Caspar Creek Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Caspar Creek has cookin' for ya over the next couple weeks.

Alright, I'm gonna level with ya – this is one of those outlooks where you might wanna save your energy for something else. The whole 16-day window is a tough one for Caspar Creek. There are no good surf options on offer at all. Not a single standout session where it all comes together. We're looking at a long, blank run, which is more normal for this area when the winds and swell just don't line up.

The first few days are a write-off with poor surf conditions. Wednesday the 15th has a close to 7ft NW windswell rolling in, but it's crossed-up by a 12 mph NW breeze, making it choppy and messy. That swell energy is moderate though, sitting around (632-835). The next few days through Thursday and Friday see the swell get a bit bigger, even hitting 8ft on Thursday afternoon, but that persistent cross-onshore wind just wrecks it. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 55°F.

Things get a little less ugly starting Saturday the 18th, but we're still in "marginal" territory. The wind backs off to a light breeze, but the swell is small, around 3ft, with short periods, so it's not gonna have any push. That light wind might clean it up a bit, but the tide or something else is questionable.

There is a little flicker of something on Friday the 24th afternoon with a very long 24-second period swell from the SW (energy 1056), but it's only 3ft and crossed up. That's a tease – long period groundswell like that needs a point break to wrap into, not a beach setup. It's still marked as marginal.

The last few days of July see moderate swell energy building to strong levels (491-690), with waves up to 7ft. But the wind is always from the NW, cross-onshore, turning it into a choppy mess. It's just not gonna be clean.

Honestly, for a surfer, the setup here looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of this period. If you absolutely have to get wet, maybe hope for one of those light wind mornings and just accept the small, weak waves. But I wouldn't hold your breath.

Rusty, signing off.
