Escolleras Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it's Rusty here, checkin' in with a look at what's comin' down the pipe for Escolleras. It’s a bit of a marathon outlook this time, stretchin' out over the next couple of weeks, so let's get into it.

We’re kickin' things off right away. The water temperature is sittin' at a balmy 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like bath water out there.

The real standout of this whole run hits us this coming Saturday, August 29, and it carries into Sunday. The morning of the 29th we've got a solid 6ft SSW groundswell with a long, powerful 16-second period. The energy is pumping, and we’ve got a moderate offshore breeze from the north. This is gonna be clean, powerful, and lined up. It's a serious session, but with that size and juice, it’s one for the experienced crew. The afternoon cleans up even more, the wind goes light and cross-off from the northwest, and the swell drops just a touch to 5ft from the SW – still excellent quality. Then Sunday the 30th morning is a dream: glassy conditions, 5ft SW swell, and clean lines. That's your window for a proper paddle.

After that, the swell backs off through Monday and Tuesday, dropping to around 3ft to 4ft. The winds get a bit messy at times, but there are still some clean windows if you're lookin' for a longboard. Monday afternoon goes dead glassy with a tiny 4ft swell, and Tuesday morning has a gentle offshore.

We then see another pulse fill in around Thursday, September 3. The Thursday morning session looks promising – a 5ft SW groundswell with a very long 18-second period, and light offshore cross-off winds. That long period means the waves will have plenty of push and shape, but it might straighten out a bit on the beach, so keep your eyes peeled for the better peaks.

Next Saturday, September 5, is another one to circle. The morning brings a clean 5ft SSW swell with an offshore breeze – and a score that says it's excellent for experienced surfers.

From there, the surf slowly tapers off into the second week. There are still some clean, glassy mornings with smaller 3ft to 5ft swell from the 6th through the 12th, but it's not gonna have the punch of the first week. The 13th of September is the last call we see, a tiny 2ft groundswell with a massive 19-second period – that’s all push and no size, a real long-period slosh for a fun log.

To sum it up for the standout: Without a doubt, Saturday, August 29, and Sunday, August 30, are the best on offer. Big, clean, powerful SSW swell with offshore or glassy conditions. If you can handle it, get absolutely amongst it. The Thursday, September 3 morning is also a top pick for quality. After that, it's mellow, clean, and more suited to smaller boards or cruisin'.

Stay stoked, and keep an eye on the wind shifts.

Rusty.
