Club del la Playa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Look, it's a bit of a flat start to the outlook period, but there's some fun, clean waves building over the next few days. The first decent surf kicks off on Saturday the 11th of July at Club del la Playa. It's a beach and point setup that's consistent, and it's exposed to the south swell. The water temp's sitting at 52°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Saturday morning looks like the pick of the first week. We've got a clean 3 ft swell out of the ESE with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (408), and with clean conditions, it'll be a good one to get wet. For the afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and the period stretches out to 14 seconds, but it gets a bit tricky with marginal tide.

Sunday the 12th is a write-off with fresh cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions. Monday the 13th brings back some hope with a light cross-off wind in the morning and 3 ft of clean swell, though the period is short at 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (214). Monday arvo turns glassy with 2 ft waves – super ordinary but still surfable.

Tuesday the 14th is a little beauty. Both morning and afternoon have a gentle offshore wind and clean lines. The swell picks up to 3 ft in the afternoon from the ESE with a 10-second period and moderate energy (206). That's your best bet for the week. It's an intermediate wave, so good for the crew who've got a few sessions under their belt.

From Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th, the surf stays small, mostly in the 2 ft to 3 ft range, with clean conditions each morning thanks to offshore winds. The combined energy is weak to moderate. Consistent little waves, but nothing to get too excited about.

Then there's a big gap. Saturday the 18th of July drops right off to 0.3 ft with poor conditions. The run of small, clean waves is over. From Sunday the 19th to Wednesday the 22nd, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, the swell gets messy, and the combined energy is weak to moderate. Thursday the 23rd to Sunday the 26th brings bigger, but uglier, conditions. The swell builds from 7 ft on Thursday the 23rd with a long 12-second period, but it's all onshore wind. The combined energy cranks up to strong (1169) and even very strong a few times, but the quality is poor. This window's more for the kite surfers than paddle surfers, with strong winds and a messy sea state. There's a chance of a marginal window on Thursday the 23rd morning, but the onshore wind makes it a gamble.

So, for the whole 16 days, the standout is Tuesday the 14th of July at Club del la Playa. Clean, offshore winds, 3 ft of ESE groundswell (10-second period), and moderate energy (206). It's the cleanest, most fun wave of the bunch. The Saturday the 11th morning session is a close second.

Take it easy,
Rusty
