The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the outlook for the next 16 days.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat start. The first few days are really just ankle-biters with very ordinary conditions. Don’t get your hopes up for the first week; it’s pretty grim. There’s a long gap stretching from the 15th right through to the 26th of July where the surf is either tiny or blown out. The consistent energy is just weak, and the wind is mostly junk.
The one bright spot in that whole stretch is Saturday morning, the 18th of July. The swell is only 3 ft from the east, but the wind is glassy at Club del la Playa (beach and point). It’s small, but it’ll be clean. The combined energy is a weak 136, so don’t expect much power. The water temp is about 51°, which is normal for the time of year.
Now, the real standout comes on Monday, 27th of July. That’s the one to circle. It’s a long-period groundswell from the SSE, hitting 7 ft in the morning with a period of 14 seconds. That’s proper energy – the combined energy is a massive 1690. The wind is light offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. This is a big one, but at 7 ft, it’s edging into expert territory, especially for a beach and point setup. The swell is so long-period that it might break a bit straight at the beach, but the point should handle it beautifully. The afternoon drops to 6 ft, still excellent, with a cross-off wind. This is the best on offer, no question.
The 26th of July, Sunday afternoon, is also worth a mention before the big day. It’s 4 ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 430. The wind is cross-off and clean. It’s a solid warm-up session.
After that, from the 28th onwards, the wind turns onshore and choppy, and the swell drops back down. The 30th has a 4 ft south swell with a 13-second period and strong cross-off wind, but it’s still messy and not worth the paddle.
So, bottom line: the first week is a write-off with small, sloppy surf. The glassy Saturday morning the 18th is a tiny clean option. The real prize is Monday, 27th July, with a deep, powerful groundswell and clean conditions. Don’t miss it.
