The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating for El Porto Beach. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy winds, so you're gonna have to be patient.
For the next ten days or so, from Monday the 10th through to Wednesday the 19th of August, it's a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.3ft to 3.0ft from the SW or SSW, with combined wave energy mostly sitting under 400 (moderate energy at best). The period is mostly short to moderate, between 13 and 20 seconds, so it's not bringing any real punch. On top of that, the wind is almost constantly a cross-onshore breeze, which keeps the surface messy and choppy. The water temperature is a very unusual 71.6°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight. Honestly, for most of this period, what little bump we get is better suited for a kite than a paddle board – it's just not worth paddling out for.
Now, there is one little glimmer. It's a long way off, so don't get too hyped, but Thursday morning the 20th of August is the standout. We get a light cross-offshore wind from the SSE at 6 mph, which will clean things right up. The swell is still small, only 1.6ft from the SSW with a period of 14 seconds, but with those conditions, it's the best chance for a few clean, weak little lines. Expect combined swell energy of around 262 (moderate). It won't be anything special, but it's the best on offer in this whole 16-day window. After that, it's back to the flat, blown-out doldrums for the rest of the period.
Hang in there, and keep an eye on the forecasts – things have to change eventually.
