The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright, listen up. The next 16 days at El Porto start off pretty flat and ugly. The first few days are a write-off – small, choppy, and crossed-up. Nothing to even paddle out for until Friday the 24th of July.
That Friday morning is your first real chance. We’ve got a clean little 2ft swell from the SSW with a 24-second period – that’s proper groundswell, long and lanky. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be glassy. The water is a steamy 72°, which is *much* warmer than normal for this time of year (an anomaly of 7°). That’s weirdly warm, but you won’t hear me complaining. The energy is moderate (574), so there’s some push. This is a standout for the block – clean, long-period lines for the beach break. Keep in mind, that long period (over 15 seconds) can make a beach break like this a bit walled-up and straight, but with these small heights, it’ll be fun for a beginner-friendly session.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are a step down – the wind goes light cross-shore or cross-on, and the waves are marginal. Not awful, but not special. The energy stays moderate (489-609), but the quality is just okay.
The following week, from Monday the 27th through to Thursday the 30th, we see a bit more size – up to 3ft from the SSW – but the wind stays cross or cross-on. The energy climbs into the moderate-to-strong range (544-723), but the morning sessions are the pick, with light cross-shore winds. The afternoon gets choppy. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Then we hit a real lull. From the 31st of July into the first week of August, the swell drops and the wind gets messy. Heights bounce between 1ft and 4ft, but the period drops, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. The energy falls to weak or very weak (112-190). Not worth the paddle.
The only bright spot is the 3rd and 4th of August mornings – tiny 2ft SSW swell with a clean, light cross-offshore wind. It’s small, but it’s clean. A go-out for the longboard.
Overall, your best bet is Friday morning, July 24th. That’s the one. After that, it’s a waiting game.
