The Lowdown

Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let's break down Caspar Creek for the next couple weeks.

The first ten days or so? Pretty grim. There's swell coming through, but the wind is locked in from the northwest, blowing cross-onshore and making a mess of everything. It’s going to be choppy and lumpy. Water temp is 57°F, right where it should be for this time of year.

From Sunday the 26th of July, we start with small, weak waves (combined energy 114) and it just gets worse from a quality standpoint. The swell builds through the week, hitting 8ft by Thursday the 30th with strong energy (676), but those winds at 12 to 19 mph ruin any chance of a clean wave. This nasty pattern holds all the way into the first week of August. Even the bigger pulses—like the 10ft NW swell on Saturday the 1st of August with a massive energy reading of 1250—will be blown out. Honestly, this stretch looks more fun for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session.

But hang ten, because the light at the end of the tunnel is real. On Sunday the 9th of August, the wind finally lets up. We get a big 10ft groundswell from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds and massive energy (1546). The standout moment is Sunday afternoon, when the wind goes glassy at just 3 mph from the southwest. This will be the best session of the whole outlook. Clean, powerful, pumping. This is for experienced surfers only—10ft is serious, and that long period makes it more critical at a sheltered spot like this. You can expect some crowds for this one.

And if you can handle more, Monday the 10th of August in the afternoon looks even bigger. An 12ft NW swell (2331 energy) with perfectly glassy conditions. This is it. The one to circle on the calendar. After all that onshore junk, we get a golden window of big, clean surf. Just be smart out there.

Rusty out.

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.
