Choralillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Choralillo. This is a point break, exposed to the swell, and it’s pretty consistent. The water temperature is sitting at 62°F, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.

We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next 16 days, but there are a couple of windows that look really good. The early part of the week is where I’d be looking. Tuesday morning, July 14th, is the standout. Choralillo will be picking up a 5ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 15 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell with plenty of energy (1623). The wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. That’s the best on offer for the whole run. The swell is a bit solid, so it’s more for the experienced crew, but the quality is going to be top-notch. Tuesday afternoon also looks good with a similar 6ft swell and glassy conditions, so you get a full day of it.

Wednesday, July 15th, sees the swell bump up to 7ft from the SW, but it’s a bit shorter period (12 seconds) and the wind gets messy. The morning has offshore wind, but the wave comment mentions it’s marginal, so not as clean. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore breeze, which will put a bit of texture on it.

We go through a bit of a lull after that. Thursday, July 16th, the swell drops and the wind is cross-on, so it’s not great. Friday and the weekend are pretty average, with smaller waves and funky winds. Saturday morning, July 18th, does see a drop to 3ft, but it’s clean with glassy conditions and a long period from the SSW (675), so a good option for a longboard or a funboard if you’re keen.

The following week, July 20th onwards, gets a bit more challenging. The wind picks up strong from the south, and we get a lot of cross and cross-onshore conditions, making things choppy. There’s a 7ft SW swell on Friday, July 24th, but the wind is onshore, so it’s a messy one for sure.

The real experts should keep an eye on the very end of the run. On Monday, July 27th, we’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the SW with a very long period of 14 seconds and strong energy (1778). The wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but that’s a lot of power. It’s big enough that it’s expert-only territory. And then Tuesday, July 28th, is big again with a 7ft swell, but the wind is stronger and cross-shore, making it a bit of a battle.

So, to wrap it up: Tuesday, July 14th is the genuine winner. Glassy, solid groundswell, and a point break setup. Get on it. The week after that is sketchy, but if you’re a pro, that July 27th-28th window has size, even if the wind is a bit of a pain.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
