The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on El Porto Beach for the next couple of weeks. Let's get into it.
First off, the water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a long way from average, so it's feeling more like a bathtub than the Pacific today.
The pattern over this whole 16-day window is a bit of a slow grind. There's no massive, earth-shattering swell coming, but there are a few windows where it'll clean up nicely. Most days the wind is sloppy or cross-on, messing up what little swell we have.
The first real glimmer of clean surf comes on Monday morning, August 31st. It's small, only 2ft of SSW swell, but the wind is light and cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. The wave energy is moderate (254). It’s a beginner spot anyway, so this is a perfect window for the learners to get some clean, gentle waves.
The standout of the whole period is definitely Monday, September 7th. That morning, the wind goes glassy out of the SW at just 3 mph, with 2ft of SSW groundswell at a solid 15 seconds. That long period will bring some nice shape to the beach, and the glassy conditions will make it look like a lake out there. Then in the afternoon, look for a light ENE cross-offshore breeze to keep it clean. Wave energy is moderate (260 and 225). This is the best call of the forecast – get on it.
Another promising morning rolls in on Friday, September 4th. Light SSE winds under a cloudy sky, with 2ft of clean SSW swell (17-second period) and moderate energy (424). That's a solid combo for the spot.
Jumping to Wednesday, September 9th: another clean morning with a bit of punch. The swell height bumps to 3ft from the S, with a 13-second period and moderate energy (347). Winds are light and cross-offshore, keeping it tidy.
Most other mornings are borderline, with cross-on breezes or questionable tides making the small swell look less appealing. The afternoons are generally a no-go with onshore winds chopping things up.
Rusty out.
