Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Club del la Playa.
Right now, the outlook is a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got a few windows where it gets pretty good, but you’ll have to be patient and pick your moments. The water temp is sitting at 52°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real chance to get a wave isn’t until this Sunday morning, July 5th. It’s going to be cloudy with glassy conditions, which is a major positive. The swell is a modest 3ft from the ESE with a period of 10 seconds, pushing through with moderate energy (339). The wind is nearly nothing, glassy, so it’ll be clean. It’s not huge, but for a small, clean session, that Sunday morning is the best you’ll see in the near-term.
Monday, July 6th, is a write-off. Strong onshore winds kill any chance of decent surf. That theme continues through most of the week with poor conditions, lumpy cross-chop, and mostly small, weak swell.
Then things change. Saturday, July 11th, is a true standout. Morning and afternoon both look excellent. We’ve got 5ft of SSE swell, with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The energy is strong (597 in the morning and 548 in the afternoon). This is groundswell quality stuff with clean faces, and it will be well-shaped. This is the day to circle on the calendar.
After that, the surf drops back off through the middle of the month with very poor conditions and small swell, and then we get another interesting window. On Friday, July 17th, the morning brings a clean 4ft SSE swell with a long 11-second period and light offshore wind from the NNE. The energy is moderate (411), and with the light wind, it’s going to be clean and lined up.
Again on Saturday, July 18th, the morning session is promising with 4ft S swell at 10 seconds and light offshore wind from the NE (302 energy). It’s good, but the window is tight as the afternoon gets messy.
Overall, this forecast has two clear standouts: the morning of Saturday, July 11th and the morning of Friday, July 17th. Those are your best bets for clean, quality waves. The rest of the 16-day run is mostly blown out or flat, so don't expect much else.
