The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for our local stretch.
We're looking at a pretty quiet run for El Porto Beach. The next two weeks aren't offering much in the way of quality surf. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands, with the first few days offering nothing but small, choppy, and wind-affected waves. The energy is low, and conditions are just not cooperating.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Sunday, August 8th, and even then, it's a standout only because everything else is so flat. That morning, we've got a small southwest swell at 2 ft, coming from the SSW. The period is a very long 18 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but the size is tiny. The real winner here is the wind: a light, cross-offshore breeze from the SSE is making it look clean. The combined energy is moderate at 216. It's a beginner-friendly wave, but with that long period, the sets will be far apart, and at a beach break, it might be a bit too straight. Still, if you're desperate for a paddle, this is the best we've got in the entire 16-day window. Crowds are likely at this spot, so expect company.
The water temperature is a warm 72°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's very unusual, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
The rest of the run is a write-off. The waves from Thursday, July 30th, right through to Friday, August 14th, are mostly under 3 ft, with weak energy (often in the 80-200 range) and a persistent cross-onshore wind. The wind is never truly offshore, and the surf is consistently described as "poor" or "marginal." There's a small bump on Friday, August 7th, with a 1 ft swell and a very long 19-second period, but the wind is messy and the energy is low. It's not worth getting excited about.
Honestly, the only thing worth paddling out for is that Sunday morning session on the 8th. Everything else is a skip. The good news is that El Porto is usually consistent, so this blank run is a bit of a lull, and forecasts can change. But for now, don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
