The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here. To be straight with you, the next 16 days aren’t giving us much to get excited about. There’s a real dry spell here, with the first week or so looking pretty flat and messy. The water temp is sitting at about 53°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least the rubber won’t feel off.
The first real chance of anything rideable comes around Monday, August 3rd in the afternoon at Club del la Playa. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the SSE, with a short period of 6 seconds. That’s a weak, choppy wind swell. The wind is a cross-off from the ENE at 12 mph, which will keep it clean, but the wave energy is only moderate at 263. It’s still a marginal call, and the quality is just not there. It’s a beach and point setup, so you might find a shelter, but this isn’t the day to go out of your way.
The next whisper of something better is a full week later, on Friday, August 7th. The morning sees a 3ft SSE swell, with a 9-second period. The wind is a light offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, which is a major positive – it’ll be glassy and clean. The combined energy is weak at 98, but the conditions are surfable. The afternoon holds up, with the same 3ft SSE swell, period picking up to 10 seconds, and still offshore from the N at 9 mph. The energy ticks up to 133 (moderate). This is the best of the whole run, and it’s still only ordinary. The swell is small, so it’s okay for beginners.
Saturday, August 8th, keeps the clean conditions going. The morning has a 2ft SE swell with a period of 11 seconds, light offshore from the N at 6 mph. That’s a long period for such a small wave, so it’ll have a bit of push but the sets will be spaced out. The energy is weak at 96. The afternoon is similar, with a 2ft SE swell and a 10-second period, light cross-off from the NNW. It’s clean, but tiny.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 7th and 8th of August are your only real windows. The rest of the forecast is cross-shore wind, onshore wind, or just flat, weak dribble. On the 1st of August, a fresh 19 mph cross-shore from the W with a 3ft E swell is going to be lumpy and messy – more of a kite session than a surf session.
So, no standouts. Just a couple of days where the ocean is clean but small. It’s a quiet stretch. Keep an eye on it, forecasts change.
