Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up. We’ve got a run of small, lackluster surf ahead, with only a couple of mornings that might get your heart beating.
Right now, we’re looking at a bit of a flat spell to start things off. The first few days at El Porto Beach are a washout, honestly. Friday morning the 3rd sees weak 2.3ft SSW swell, but it’s cross-on with a light breeze, and the combined energy is only 236 – just weak, mushy stuff. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s a beginner-friendly spot but this is marginal at best. That pattern holds through Saturday and Sunday, with tiny swell and poor conditions.
Monday the 6th shows a glimmer of hope. The morning brings a 2ft SSW swell, period jumping to 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. The wind is cross-shore and light, keeping things relatively clean. The combined energy is 311 (moderate). This is the first real window for a surf, though still small.
The real standout, such as it is, comes on the morning of Wednesday the 8th. The swell pushes to 2.6ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the wind is light and cross-shore. The combined energy climbs to 507 (moderate to strong). This is the best-sized, cleanest window in the whole forecast. It’s still not big, but it’s the pick of the litter for El Porto.
After that, it fades. The morning of Friday the 10th turns cross-off with a gentle breeze and 2.3ft SSW swell, so it’s clean, but energy drops. From the 12th onward, it’s a long, drawn-out taper into flatness, with very small swell and persistent cross-on winds. The gap from Sunday the 12th through to Tuesday the 14th is especially quiet. There’s a tiny 1ft SW swell with a long 19-second period on the morning of the 14th, but it’s barely surfable.
If you’re an absolute beginner and just want to get wet, the mornings of the 6th, 8th, or 10th are your best bet, but keep expectations low. For everyone else, this is a stretch to sit out. The crowds at El Porto are often present, so even on these small days it won’t be empty.
Stay patient.
