Caspar Creek Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough read for Caspar Creek. The whole 16-day window is looking bleak.

We start with Tuesday the 7th, and honestly, we're looking at a solid run of poor conditions. The swell is coming from the NW, but that wind is relentless out of the NW as well, smashing it onshore and making everything choppy and messy. The water temp is sitting at 54°F, which is about 2°F cooler than normal for this time of year, so it's a little nippy but nothing too crazy.

For the first week and a half, from the 7th right through to the 15th, it’s pretty much a write-off. The combined energy is climbing – we see readings like 663 to 828 on the 8th and 9th, then up into four-digit numbers like 1191 and 1053 on the 10th – but all that energy is just making for unruly, blown-out conditions. Swell heights are building from 6 ft up to a solid 10 ft on the 9th and 10th, but with that cross-onshore wind, it's not surfable. When it hits 10 ft, that's expert-level size on a bad day, so everyone stay on the beach.

There’s a tiny glimmer way out on the horizon. On the 18th of July, the surf finally starts to drop, and by the morning of the 19th, we get a brief moment where the wind shifts to onshore from the WSW at a light 6 mph. The swell drops to 7 ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is still strong at 1215. That morning of Sunday the 19th is the only time in the whole outlook that creeps into a 2 out of 10 rating. But it’s still marginal – questionable tide, only a light onshore wind. It’s a long shot.

The last few days, the 21st and 22nd, the surf drops back to around 6 ft, but that stubborn NW wind is still cross-on, keeping the conditions poor.

It’s a bleak forecast, folks. For a spot like Caspar Creek that is consistent, this kind of blank run is frustrating, but it happens. The wind is just not our friend this time.

Stay patient, and hopefully the forecasts change.
