The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for El Porto Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, straight up, it's a pretty bleak outlook for the next 16 days. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions. The water's running *much* warmer than normal for this time of year at 72°F, which is pretty unusual, but that's about the only interesting thing happening for a while.
We kick off on Sunday, the 9th of August, with tiny 2ft swell from the SSW at a very long 15 seconds. The combined energy is weak (185). But with a cross-onshore wind, it's just choppy and messy. That's the story right through the following week. The swell stays tiny, mostly below 2ft, with periods all over the shop. The wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore or cross, keeping the surface chopped up. The energy levels are weak to moderate, but it doesn't matter when the quality is this poor. There's nothing worth paddling out for through to the end of the week and into the weekend. We're looking at a solid stretch of close to two weeks with absolutely no decent surf.
Now, if you're really desperate, there's a glimmer on the horizon. The morning of Wednesday, the 19th of August, things get interesting. The finder shows "clean" conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. The swell is still small at 2ft, but it's coming from the SSW at 16 seconds, giving it some long-period punch. The combined swell energy pushes up to a moderate 321. It finally looks surfable.
But don't get too excited. It's a one-off window. The winds swing back onshore that very afternoon, and the days after that drop back into the tiny, messy zone. Given how rare a clean window is here in this forecast, I'd say that Wednesday morning is the standout. It's not going to be big, but for a beginner-friendly spot like El Porto, with light offshores, those 2ft groundswell lines could be fun and clean. There won't be much power, so it's perfect for a longboard.
Other than that single morning, everything else is a waste of time. No other standouts to speak of.
Stay patient, and check back in case the forecasts change.
