Caspar Creek Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about what we’re looking at for Caspar Creek over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, you’re gonna be waiting a while for anything decent at Caspar Creek. The next few days are pretty cooked. We’ve got a big pulse of northwest swell rolling in as we head into next week, but the wind’s gonna be a constant problem.

Right off the bat, Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd, there’s size but it’s messy. Sunday the 2nd afternoon has a solid 13.1 ft NW swell but the cross-on wind is howling at 16 mph, making it a complete washout. The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 54.5°. The energy is huge (2337) but it’s all for nothing with that chop.

We don’t see a real winner until Tuesday the 4th afternoon. That’s our standout. The swell drops to a more manageable 5.6 ft from the northwest, but the wind goes glassy. It’s gonna be clean. That’s your window for a few fun, head-high waves, but the energy is mellow, only about 496. It’s a sheltered beginner-friendly spot, so expect it to be crowded; people show up for that rare glass.

After that, it’s a long, frustrating stretch. From Wednesday the 5th through to Saturday the 8th, we’ve got persistent cross-onshore winds. The swell jumps back up over 6.6 ft on the 7th and 8th, but the wind just ruins it. By Saturday the 8th afternoon, it’s a solid 9.8 ft NW swell with wind at 12 mph—that’s one for the experts only, and even then it’ll be a bumpy mess.

Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th bring a big, powerful NW groundswell, peaking near 13.1 ft again. The energy is massive (2797 on Sunday afternoon), but the wind is still cross-on, and the conditions are only marginal because of the tide or texture. This is big, thumping, and only for the experienced.

The second week looks a bit better but still nothing amazing. The best chance of something decent pops up on Tuesday the 11th afternoon. Swell is 7.2 ft from the northwest, period at 10 seconds, wind goes glassy again. That could be a clean session, but the energy is moderate at 901. The next morning, Wednesday the 12th, has a clean 5.9 ft wave with the wind straight offshore, but again, marginal.

From Thursday the 13th onward, the wind is back on it. We get a little spike on Friday the 14th with 7.5 ft NW, but cross-on wind spoils it. The very end of the run, Sunday the 16th, brings a long-period 4.6 ft WNW groundswell at 16 seconds. That’s a very long period, which means great shape but longer lulls, and at a sheltered spot like this, it might not break with any power. So, overall, keep your eyes on Tuesday the 4th afternoon and Tuesday the 11th afternoon for your best chances.
