Caspar Creek Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Caspar Creek for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a rough go. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions staring us down. From Saturday the 4th all the way into the second week of July, it’s mostly messy, choppy, and cross-onshore. The swell is there but the wind just ruins it. The water is sitting at 52° – a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a hood if you’re paddling out.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show until Tuesday the 14th of July. The morning is still marginal, but Tuesday afternoon is where it finally flips. We get a 8ft NW swell with glassy conditions – dead calm wind. That’s a standout. The energy is strong (1056) and the waves are going to be clean and lined up. That afternoon session is easily the best on offer.

Wednesday the 15th keeps the good vibes rollin’. Morning is a bit iffy with a light cross-onshore, but Wednesday afternoon turns glassy again with a 8ft NW swell and even more energy behind it (1150). If you can only pick one window, Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday afternoon are your moments. After that, the following days have a mix of onshore wind and some longer period swells that might get tricky at this break.

Caspar Creek is a sheltered beginner-friendly spot that’s consistent, but it’s also “often” crowded when it’s good. With that in mind, expect company on those clean afternoons. The swell direction is NW, which is the optimum direction for this break, so that lines up perfectly.

From the 16th onward, the energy stays high but the wind swings back cross-onshore, and by Saturday the 18th, we’re back to choppy mess. There’s a long-period WNW swell on the 17th (17 seconds!) but with cross-onshore wind, that’s going to be a challenge more than a treat.

So, if you’re after the good stuff, circle Tuesday 14th afternoon and Wednesday 15th afternoon. The rest of the run is mostly a write-off.

Rusty.
