Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Porto Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for El Porto Beach.
We’re looking at a lean stretch ahead. For the next week and a bit, the surf is small and the winds are messy. We’ve got a long, quiet run from now until about July 10th. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, and the periods are long – 18 seconds to start – but the wave energy is only moderate (464 to 125) and the cross-onshore winds are going to make things choppy and unappealing. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small consolation when the waves are junk.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday July 10th. The morning session sees a clean 2ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, and we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph. Wave energy is still only moderate (251), but the conditions should be clean. Saturday July 11th morning repeats the trick, same size and wind, clean again. But both afternoons and Sunday through to the middle of the month are a write-off – poor conditions prevail.
Then, a bit of a stand-out on July 18th, Saturday morning. We get a clean 2ft SW swell with an 18-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph. The wave energy bumps up to a moderate 320. It’s not big, but it’ll be the cleanest, best-shaped wave we’ve seen in weeks. That’s your pick for the entire outlook.
And then Sunday July 19th, morning is a real gem – glassy conditions. The wind is barely a whisper from the SSE at 3 mph. That 2ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period will be buttery smooth. Wave energy is moderate (285). For a small wave, that is an absolute joy to paddle out into. The crowds at El Porto are often thick, so expect company, but for a glassy 2ft wave, it’s worth it.
After that, it fades back into small, onshore junk for the rest of the outlook. So, to be honest, the surf is disappointing for the first ten days. Hang tight for July 18th and 19th – those are the only mornings that are truly worth the wax.
Rusty.
