The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next 16 days.

Well, I’ve got to level with you – we’re looking at a real dry spell right now. The swell window is completely shut down, and it’s going to stay that way for a while. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to at least Tuesday the 11th of August, there’s just nothing happening. That’s a solid two-week gap with no surf worth getting wet for. The few tiny pulses of north-northeast windswell we see in the second week are so weak the combined energy barely registers (1 to 9), and the wave comment just says poor surf conditions the whole way through. It’s a tough stretch.

If you’re really jonesing, the only tiny glimmer shows up on Wednesday the 12th of August. Even then, we’re talking about a tiny 0.7ft swell from the north-northeast with a period of 10 seconds, and combined energy still only sitting at 9 – that’s barely a ripple. The winds that afternoon are offshore from the east-northeast at 12 mph, which would keep the surface clean, but there’s just not enough push to call it a surf. The break itself is Dogmans (Rincon), a reef setup that likes a west-northwest swell to really fire, so this little north-northeast pulse isn’t going to do it any favors. It’s a fairly consistent spot when there’s swell, but right now there’s nothing for it to work with.

Honestly, the water temperature is about 84° – that’s pretty normal for this time of year, with a negligible anomaly of about 1° warmer. But no amount of warm water makes flat surf fun. If you’re a kite surfer, maybe the occasional afternoon breeze might get you moving, but for paddle surfing, there’s nothing here.

Hang in there, keep an eye on the charts. It tends not to stay this poor forever. Rusty out.
