Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for El Porto Beach.
Right off the bat, the start of this period is a bit of a non-starter. We’ve got swell coming in, but the wind is just off enough to keep things messy. For the first week, from Wednesday the 8th right through to Friday the 17th of July, it’s pretty grim. The swell is tiny, mostly hanging around 1 to 3 feet, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (444 dropping down to 129), so there’s just no push or power to work with. You’d be fighting a losing battle. There’s a brief flicker on the morning of Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th where the wind turns cross-offshore, leaving it clean, but with only 2 feet of swell, it’s barely a ripple. Don’t get your hopes up.
The real standout comes in the second week. Mark your calendars for Sunday morning, the 19th of July. This is where things get interesting. The swell jumps to 4 feet from the SSE, and the combined energy rockets up to 1126 (very strong). The period is a long 17 seconds, so this is proper, long-period groundswell. For a beach break like El Porto, that long period can make things a bit straight and walled-up, but the SSE direction should give it some shape. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-onshore, which isn’t perfect, but it’s light enough to keep it from getting junked. This is the best on offer – bigger, powerful, and with that long-period punch. It’s not for beginners at 4 feet, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the window.
After that, things drop off again. Monday the 20th still has some size, 4 feet from the S with moderate energy (785), but the wind stays light cross. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The week then slowly fades back into the small, onshore junk we saw at the start.
Overall, the first week is a write-off. If you need a fix, the morning of Friday the 19th of July is the only day that really fires. For everything else, you’re better off waiting.
