The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim around here. We’ve got a long dry spell on the cards, so don’t get your hopes up too soon.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s a massive gap of nothing worthwhile at the start. From now until the morning of Friday, August 15th, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re talking tiny, weak little waves that just aren't worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at a notable 84°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual.
Now, our only real glimmer of hope, and it’s a weak one, comes on Saturday morning, August 15th at Cinquale. We should see a small WSW swell rolling in at about 3ft and a period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting at (71). The morning wind is light and variable, which might give us a cleanish window. Look, it’s described as surfable but very ordinary, so it's not going to be a classic. It might be the best we’ve got, but that’s not saying much.
After that, it’s back to tiny dribble for the last day of the forecast. It’s a tough outlook, folks. Sometimes you just gotta wait for the next change. This is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Cinquale Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cinquale provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cinquale can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cinquale 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 (Cinquale) 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 Cinquale 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.
