The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is one of those forecasts where you might want to save your energy for something else. We’re looking at a long, flat run with nothing to get excited about for a good while.
Right off the bat, the first solid week is a total write-off. From the start of the outlook all the way through to the end of the first week, there’s just nothing. The swell energy is a big fat zero, or at best a few tiny pulses that barely register. Early on, we’ve got a bit of a glassy morning on the 3rd of August, but with no waves to ride, it’s just a pretty, flat ocean.
Late in the second week, things start to look a little less hopeless. By the morning of the 16th of August, we finally see a little bump of 0.3 ft from the north, but it’s still a struggle. The best chance for a paddle comes around on the 17th of August. Monday morning glassy conditions with a 1 ft north swell, though it’s short period at 7 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (16). It’s tiny, but it’s clean. The afternoons look glassy too, but the swell is gone again.
The only break we’ve got on the radar is Dogmans (Rincon). It’s a reef setup that’s fairly consistent, but it’s just not getting any love from the ocean. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Overall, this is a classic flat spell for the area. It’s a solid 12-day gap with no proper surf. The tiny bump on the 17th of August is the only thing worth mentioning, and even then it’s only for the patient souls on a longboard. The forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
