The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s look at the same outlook, but in feet and miles per hour.
To be honest, this stretch looks tough. The only break we’re talking about is El Porto Beach, and it’s going to be quiet. For the first several days, there’s nothing doing – a whole week of flat, blown-out conditions. The first real glimmer of hope is a long ways off.
Mark your calendar for Friday, September 11th, in the morning. That’s our best chance. The wind will be clean, blowing offshore from the southeast at 9 mph. The swell is tiny, only about 2ft from the SW, but the energy is decent and the period is a long 16 seconds. That deepwater groundswell will make these little waves super clean and tracky. It’s going to be the most user-friendly and organized the surf will look in this entire window.
Before that, we have a near miss on Friday, September 4th, morning. The wind is also clean with a good cross-off, and the swell is a bit bigger at 3ft from the SSW. But it’s just not consistent. You’ll get nice, clean conditions and wait forever between waves. The water is 74°, which is way warmer than average, so that’s a bonus.
Every afternoon, and most mornings, are blown out with onshore winds. There are a couple of other mornings with light winds and small swell, but they are marginal at best. This is a real test of patience. If you can wait, that Friday the 11th morning is the one. Otherwise, it’s a long two weeks.
