Table - best surf conditions forecast for Caspar Creek over the next 16 days.
Howdy, Rusty here for Caspar Creek. Straight up, this 16-day stretch is a tough one for surfers – a long, rough patch with hardly any good windows. From Thursday the 9th through to Sunday the 20th of July, it’s mostly a bust. You’ve got steady cross-onshore winds out of the NW, with waves running 5 to 8 ft but with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s just a choppy mess. The combined energy is moderate to strong (253 to 1812), but it’s all wind-slop. Water temp is about 55°F – nothing unusual for this time of year.
There’s a little light on Saturday the 18th of July. Saturday morning is a maybe – a tiny 3 ft swell from the WNW with a very long 16-second period, and light cross-onshore wind – still a bit messy. But Saturday afternoon is the real standout. The swell stays small at about 3 ft from the WNW, period still 16 seconds, and the wind goes totally glassy. That means clean, smooth, perfect conditions. Wave energy is high (1137) for the size, so those long-period waves will have some grunt. This is the only time in the whole outlook you get clean conditions. Keep your expectations in check though – it’s small, so dust off the longboard, and the long period means those waves will run a bit straight on the beach break. Sunday the 19th is back to marginal.
From Monday the 20th through Friday the 24th of July, it’s poor surf again – cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell. The energy bottoms out at 79 on the 23rd, which is weak. Even the glassy patch on the 23rd afternoon is flat – 2 ft with no energy. For the whole 16 days, the afternoon of the 18th is your best and only real bet. If the wind holds and you’ve got a big board, you might score a few clean, gliding waves. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

Information about the Caspar Creek Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Caspar Creek provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Caspar Creek can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Caspar Creek surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Caspar Creek) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Caspar Creek may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
