Escolleras Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty solid at Escolleras, with a heap of clean windows and a few proper standouts if you time it right.

First things first – the water’s running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ around 89°, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.

The surf kicks off Sunday morning the 13th with a clean 2ft SW swell, light cross-offshore ENE breeze, and that water feels like a warm bath. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and there’s a bit of energy behind it (223). That afternoon dies off quick though – onshore S wind and only 2ft, so the morning’s the go.

Monday the 14th morning is a cracker – glassy, 3ft SW, and the energy jumps up (574). Easily the pick of the first few days. The afternoon gets messy with a risk of storms, so get out early. Tuesday the 15th morning is another glassy one, swell pushes to 4ft, and energy’s climbing (897). Wednesday and Thursday mornings are also glassy, with 4ft SW swell and strong energy (983 and 931) – these are fun, solid waves with clean faces.

After that there’s a bit of a lull. Friday the 18th morning is still nice and glassy with 3ft, but energy drops off. The weekend sees some chop in the afternoons, but Saturday the 19th morning is glassy again (748).

Now, here’s the standout. Sunday the 20th morning – this is the one. Calm, glassy, 4ft SW, and the energy jumps right up to 1093. The comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and I’d agree. Then Monday the 21st morning is just as good – zero wind, glassy, 4ft SW, and energy peaks at 1169. This is the best window of the whole run. Get on it.

The middle of the week gets a bit messy – Tuesday the 22nd has cross-shore winds and the afternoons are choppy. But then Wednesday the 23rd morning is clean again, 4ft SW, and Thursday the 24th morning is dead calm – 0 wind, glassy, with 4ft SW (487). Not as powerful, but still clean.

Friday the 25th morning has a cross-off wind, clean 4ft. Saturday the 26th morning is flat calm – zero wind, glassy, 4ft SW (530). Another good one. Sunday the 27th starts clean but the afternoon blows out with a 12 mph cross-on. Monday the 28th morning wraps it up with another glassy, 3ft SW and calm conditions.

Overall, Escolleras is fairly consistent through the whole stretch, and the real highlights are the 20th and 21st mornings – bigger swell, glassy, high energy, and clean faces. The early mornings are absolutely the way to go. Later on, the swell drops a touch and the onshore breezes kick in, but if you’re an early riser, you’ll be smiling.

Signing off – Rusty.
