Embare Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’ve had a good look at the forecast for Embare over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s been a slow stretch, and the opening of this outlook is pretty quiet. For the first few days we’ve got poor surf conditions and not much to get excited about.

The first real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, July 25th. We’ll see some small 3ft swell coming out of the SSE with a 10-second period. The big win here is the glassy conditions – the wind is barely there from the WSW, so the surface should be clean. The combined swell energy is moderate, reading around 207, so it’s not packing much punch, but for a patient surfer on a longboard, it’ll be a nice, clean session on the small ones.

Sunday morning, July 26th, will also have glassy conditions, but the swell drops to 2ft from the S with a long 14-second period. That long period means it’s a groundswell, and at this sheltered spot, the shape might be okay, but it will be inconsistent and very small. Again, a longboard or a foil session is your best bet. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.

Moving into the following week, we get a few more glassy windows, but the swell stays tiny through the end of July and into the first days of August – mostly around 1.0ft to 2ft. Not really worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a float.

There’s a bit of a spike on the morning of Friday, July 31st, with a 3ft S swell and 12-second period, glassy conditions again. That morning session might offer a couple of fun little runners, but nothing to write home about.

The next notable morning is Monday, August 3rd, with a similar 2ft S swell and 12-second period, and it’s glassy. Very small, very clean, very mellow.

Now, the one that stands out in the longer range is Wednesday morning, August 5th. We’ve got a 4ft SSE swell with a 10-second period, pushing the combined energy up to a strong 344. That’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast. It’s coming from the SSE, which is pretty close to the optimum S direction for this break, so it should line up nicely. The only issue is a gentle E wind that will be blowing cross-shore, so it might have a little texture on it. Still, this is the best size we’ll see, and if you can put up with a slight chop, it could give you the best waves of the period. A good option for intermediate surfers.

Thursday morning, August 6th, is back to glassy conditions with a 3ft swell from the S at 12 seconds, so it’ll be clean but smaller.

The last day in the forecast that’s even worth a mention is Saturday, August 8th, with a 2ft SSE swell and glassy winds, but the energy is very low.

Look, overall, this is a quiet stretch for Embare. There are no epic standouts. If I had to pick the best, it would be Wednesday morning, August 5th, for the most size, but don’t expect perfection. For a clean, small-wave session, Saturday the 25th of July or Monday the 3rd of August offer the best conditions. The rest of the time, you’re better off checking back later – forecasts change.
