Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at El Morro de la Virgen for the next couple weeks. Water temp is around 53°F, which is nothing unusual for this time of year.
The surf is dead quiet right now, so save your energy. The first actual chance to score is on Tuesday, July 7th afternoon. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the SSW with a moderate offshore wind from the west—clean, rideable waves. Combined energy is 980, so there’s some weight behind it. Good for intermediates, but not a total standout.
The real highlight lands on Friday, July 10th afternoon. Swell hits 5ft from the SSE with a super long 15-second period—that’s groundswell magic. Combined energy is 1019. Wind is just a light cross-onshore breeze, so the waves will have some texture but plenty of shape. This is the kind of day that makes the whole week worth it. Crowds are possible, but if you time it right, you could have some gems.
Then on Saturday, July 11th morning, the swell pushes to 7ft from the SSE with a 12-second period and combined energy of 1814—big, powerful stuff. Light cross-onshore wind again. Only for experienced surfers. The crowd factor is real, but the reward could be big.
After that, the surf goes flat for a long stretch—from Sunday the 12th through most of the following week, it's just small, weak waves and often cross-off or strong winds. Energy drops into the low double digits.
There’s a small pulse on Friday, July 17th morning: 5ft from the S with an 11-second period and 997 combined energy. Light cross-onshore breeze, but the conditions are marginal. Not a must-paddle, but worth a look if you’re keen.
Finally, Saturday, July 18th afternoon offers a 5ft S swell with a moderate offshore wind from the WSW. Combined energy 425, and the forecast says good conditions. Clean, manageable, a solid way to close out the period.
Best bets: Friday July 10th afternoon for the long-period groundswell, and Saturday July 11th morning if you’re after size. The rest is quiet. Stay patient.
