The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead.
The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There's no proper swell to speak of, and the energy just isn't there. You're looking at a major gap of surf that's basically not worth paddling out for. The first few days are a write-off, and honestly, it doesn't get much better. It's not until the very end of the month that we finally see a glimmer of something, and even then, it's a gamble.
For the first week, from Friday afternoon all the way through to Wednesday the 24th, the wave heights are tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and the swell period is short, under 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, with values like 12, 30, 31, and 71 (weak to low moderate energy). The winds are a mixed bag of cross-shore and onshore, with a few glassy mornings, but the waves are just too small to do anything with. Thursday morning the 24th is the first time we see "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" with a score of 1, but the swell is still only 2 ft from the NE with a 9-second period (82 combined energy). That's a long shot, even for a log.
The pattern continues through the end of July and into the start of August. The swell barely nudges above 3 ft, and the period stays short. The energy values hover in the 2 to 63 range – weak. There are a few glassy or clean mornings, but the waves are just too small and weak to be worth your time.
So, the only real standout, if you can call it that, is a very tentative one. On the morning of August 1st, the swell from the NE is 3 ft with a 6-second period and the combined energy is 50 (weak). The winds are calm and glassy. That's the best window of the entire outlook, but it's still tiny, weak, and has a short period. It's a beginner-friendly wave at Domes (Rincon) if you're desperate for a splash, but don't expect anything with any push.
The bottom line: This is a dry spell. The surf is just not on. It's one of those spells where the forecast can change, but as it stands, you're better off doing something else.
Rusty.
