Embare Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate. Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer at Embare over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burn to start. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at small, weak swell and pretty average conditions. The real standout window is much further out, so you’ll need some patience.

Right now, things are flat and messy. The first real chance to get wet comes on Tuesday, July 14th. The morning glass-off with a W wind swinging light and clean will be your best bet. You’re looking at 4 ft of swell from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 263, so it’s not powerful, but it’s ridable. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are more of the same – small, clean mornings with light NNE winds and glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny, hovering around 4 ft to 3 ft. It’s better than nothing, but you’ll be working for it.

The next notable window appears on Tuesday, July 21st. We get a bit of a pulse of swell from the S with a period of 13 seconds, which is a nice long-period groundswell. The morning has a clean offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph, with wave heights of 2 ft. The afternoon goes completely glassy with zero wind, and the swell bumps up to 3 ft, with a combined energy of 350 (moderate). Still small, but those long-period waves will have a bit of shape and push.

Now, the highlight of the whole forecast. Look to Monday, July 27th. The morning session is the clear standout. We’ve got a solid 5 ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps way up to 652 (strong wave energy), and the wind is a clean ENE cross-off breeze at 9 mph. This is the best combo of size, energy, and clean conditions we see in the whole 16 days. It’s not huge, but it’s the most surfable and punchy setup. The afternoon is a bit more cross-shore, so the morning is the call.

After that, Tuesday the 28th still has some 4 ft leftovers, but the wind goes onshore in the afternoon, so it’s a morning-only window.

So, for the best surf, set your alarms for the morning of Monday, July 27th. That is the pick of the period. All other days are either too small, too weak, or have poor wind. The crowd profile at Embare says it can be busy sometimes, so expect a few heads out if you chase that Monday morning.

Rusty.
