Escollera Necochea Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's talk about what we've got cooking for Escollera Necochea over the next 16 days.

It's gonna be a slow start, with nothing worth paddling out for in the first couple of days. We've got some tiny bumps, but don't get excited just yet. The best of the early action kicks off on Friday morning, July 3rd. The water temp's about average for this time of year, nothing too wild.

Friday morning looks alright. We're looking at a clean, glassy 5ft S swell with an 11-second period and moderate energy (434). The wind is dead glassy, so things will be silky. This is a good, solid option to get wet. The afternoon holds onto the clean conditions, with a 4ft S swell dropping to a 10-second period and still decent energy (325). This is your best bet for the first week, no doubt.

Saturday morning, July 4th, the swell drops right off to 3ft from the S with a 9-second period and weak energy (106). The wind is offshore, so it'll be clean, but it's pretty ordinary. By the afternoon, it's small and weak. The next few days are pretty average – some onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and poor surf. You'll want to sit this bit out.

Now, hold onto your board, because things get proper interesting in the second week. There's a long flat gap after the weekend, so don't bother checking it until Monday, July 13th. Monday morning brings a small 2ft ESE groundswell with a 12-second period and moderate energy (204), but the wind is offshore and clean – a sneaky little session if you're keen.

But the real standout is still a long way off. Mark your calendars for Friday, July 17th. We've got an exceptional surf forecast. The morning sees a solid 13ft SSW groundswell with a very long 13-second period, generating very strong energy (8393). The wind is light and offshore, making for what could be an epic day. This is going to be a big, powerful groundswell, the kind that really lights up this break. It's a reef and beach setup, so the long period will work well here. This is definitely for experienced surfers only – at over 8ft, it's not for beginners. The crowds here can turn up sometimes, so get on it early. The afternoon holds onto the 12ft SSW swell, still offshore and glassy. This is the one to chase.

Saturday, July 18th still has a solid 10ft SSW groundswell with a 12-second period and very strong energy (2614), with light offshore winds keeping things clean. Another great day for the experts.

So, to wrap it up: the first few days are small and clean, but nothing special. The big, heavy stuff kicks off on the 17th and 18th of July, but that's a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts. For now, Friday morning looks like your best early paddle.

Rusty.
