Right then, let’s have a look at what’s cooking over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, the first few days are a write-off. Strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf at El Suicidio. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are best left alone.
We finally get a glimmer of hope come Sunday morning, the 5th of July. Glassy conditions, no wind at all, with a clean 3.6ft swell rolling in from the ESE. It’s a short period swell at 10 seconds, so nothing with serious grunt, but the calm, glassy surface will make it feel better than it looks. The combined energy is moderate at best (380), but for a Sunday morning with no one else about? That’s a proper gem.
The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Tuesday the 14th of July through to Wednesday the 15th. We’ve got a nice, clean setup with offshore to cross-off winds from the NNW and N. Swell sits around 4ft to 4.3ft from the ESE, with periods stretching out to 11 seconds on the Tuesday and up to 12 seconds by Wednesday. That’s proper groundswell energy, giving the waves some shape and push, with nice long lulls between sets to paddle back out. The combined energy hits a solid 436 on Wednesday morning – strong, powerful stuff. The water temp is running about 53.4°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so if you can slip out midweek, do it.
After that, it tails off. Thursday the 16th still has some decent 3.6ft swell and clean winds, but the energy is fading and the wind turns cross-onshore in the afternoon. From Friday the 17th onwards, it’s back to onshore slop. Overall, Sunday the 5th is your sneaky clean session, but Tuesday and Wednesday the 14th and 15th are the days to chase. Get out there.
