The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, 'cause I'm gonna level with you. Lookin' at the charts for the 16-day window, it's a classic case of "the ocean is taking a nap." The short story is, there's nothing on the table that I'd call a surf session. It's a long, flat stretch ahead, so if you've got a kayak or a paddleboard, that's your ticket. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game.
Let's start with the only spot I've got readings for: Dogmans (Rincon). It's a reef break, fairly consistent, but the word from the data is "poor surf conditions" from the 26th of July all the way through to the 10th of August. That's a solid two weeks of nada. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you can't blame the cold for keeping the swell away.
The first few days, from the 26th to the 1st of August, are a total bust. We're talking 0.3ft waves from the north, with periods so short (7-8 seconds) they're barely ripples. The combined wave energy is a paltry 1 to 3. There's some glassy mornings which are beautiful to look at, but there's nothing to ride.
Then, on the 2nd of August, we see a tiny blip. A 1ft to 1ft north swell rolls in, with a period of 10-11 seconds. The energy picks up to 21-32. It's still tiny, and the wind is light and variable, so it'd be clean. But honestly, you're fighting for a knee-high wave that barely breaks. This might be the "best" of the period, but it's a sad kind of "best."
After that, it's back to the doldrums. From the 3rd of August onwards, the swell drops back to 0.7ft with periods of 8-9 seconds, and the energy is in the single digits. The glassy mornings on the 5th, 7th, and 10th of August are a tease—flat, clean, and empty.
So, the standout? There isn't one. The best you can hope for is a tiny, clean wave on the morning of the 2nd of August. If you're a beginner, it's not even worth wetting the wetsuit. For the experts, there's absolutely nothing to get excited about. The forecast is consistent in its flatness, and it's a pretty normal run for this area. Keep an eye on the charts, 'cause it can't stay this flat forever. But for now, I'm hanging up my wettie.
