The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here, breakin' down the surf for El Suicidio.
The ocean is in a weird headspace for the next week, and there ain't much to get pumped about for a while. The first real chance of a decent wave don't show up until a week from now, on Monday the 14th. Before that, it's a whole lot of small, messy, and wind-chopped junk.
From Wednesday the 9th right through the weekend, the swell is tiny – we're talkin' 1ft to 3ft if you're lucky, with a bump to 6ft on Saturday the 12th, but that's comin' with a strong onshore wind that'll blow it to pieces. The energy is weak, barely gettin' into triple digits (316 on Saturday morning), and the quality is just poor. Not worth paddlin' out.
Now, the first glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 14th. The morning looks cleanest with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE and a 3ft SSE swell. The period is a decent 10 seconds, and the energy is moderate (262). The forecaster reckons there'll be good surf conditions, so that's the call for the early session. The afternoon gets a bit more questionable with a light cross-shore, so get it while it's clean.
The real standout, the one I'd circle on the calendar, is Thursday the 17th. That's eight days out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising. The morning brings a proper offshore breeze from the NNE at 12 mph, cleanin' up a 4ft SSE groundswell with a long 12-second period. The energy is solid (475). That's a point break setup, and a long period swell like that will wrap in beautifully, givin' it shape and power. It's a point break, so it's exposed to the S swell, which is spot on. This is for the stronger intermediate surfers – that 4ft with that period will have some punch. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the morning is the pick.
The following days (Friday the 18th and beyond) drop right back off into tiny and weak conditions, with no real energy to speak of. So, you've got a small window: Monday the 14th morning for a clean, small wave, and Thursday the 17th morning for the best of the lot.
Water temp is about 55°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Rusty, out.
