The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for El Porto Beach over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, honestly. The first few days are a write-off with poor surf conditions and cross-onshore winds messing things up. The real action doesn’t kick in until Friday the 24th. The water is running about 72°F, which is a solid 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, feels like bathwater out there.
The first real window of opportunity hits on Friday morning, the 24th of July. We’re looking at a clean 2ft swell from the SSW with a super long period of 24 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, folks. The wind is light and cross-offshore, which will make for some clean lines. The combined wave energy is moderate (638). This is a standout window for the next week. If you can get out there, do it.
The following Monday morning, the 27th, also looks promising. Another clean morning with a 3ft SSW swell, a solid 18-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. The energy is up a bit more (551). This is another good call.
Tuesday morning, the 28th, keeps the theme going – 3ft from the SSW, 17-second period, clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is moderate (584). Good stuff.
After that, we drop back into a mix of marginal and poor conditions through the end of July and into the first few days of August. The surf stays small, mostly under 3ft, with onshore winds taking the shine off. There’s a glimmer on Saturday morning, August 1st, with a 4ft S swell, but it’s a cross-shore wind and the period is short (14 seconds), so it’s a bit of a gamble. The energy is moderate (622), but the quality is questionable.
From Sunday the 2nd onwards, the energy really drops off, with the combined energy falling to just 89 on Monday the 3rd. That’s weak, flat-ish conditions. The long-range forecast is a bit of a blank run, with nothing that screams “go” until we’re out of this 16-day window.
Best Bet: Your best bet is Friday morning, July 24th, with Monday the 27th as a solid backup. Both are clean, light winds, and that long-period groundswell will make for some fun, lined-up waves at El Porto.
Rusty.
