The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's happening at El Suicidio over the next few weeks.
First off, it's a bit of a slow burn. We've got a solid week of tiny, messy stuff that's not worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday, August 1st. The morning looks promising with a 4ft easterly swell and a gentle offshore wind from the northwest, keeping things clean. The combined wave energy is moderate (204), and it's a point break, so it should handle that easterly direction well. That's your best early option, but it's not a standout.
The real standout is a bit further out, on Tuesday, August 11th. The morning session is looking magic. We've got a solid 5ft south swell (groundswell) with a long period of 12 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the north-northwest. That's glassy conditions, and the combined wave energy is strong (621). This is a point break, so it's built for this kind of long-period south swell. It's going to be clean, powerful, and well-shaped. The afternoon drops off a bit to 3ft, but it's still clean.
The day before that, Monday the 10th, has sizeable swell (over 7ft) but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That's one for the experts only, if anyone.
Also keep an eye on Wednesday, August 12th. The morning has a 6ft south-southwest swell with light cross-shore wind, but it might be a bit tricky with the tide. Not a standout, but could be fun if you're keen.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing crazy to report.
For the rest of the run, it's a lot of small, onshore junk. The week from August 1st to the 7th is mostly tiny and poor, so don't expect much. The 9th of August sees a jump in size again in the afternoon (7ft south-southwest) but with light cross-shore winds, it's a gamble.
So, bottom line: if you're looking for the best, circle Tuesday, August 11th (morning) on your calendar. Saturday, August 1st (morning) is your next best bet, but it's a much smaller affair.
