Exiles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty sad for the lineup at Exiles. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf, and most of it is going to be chopped up by cross-shore winds. It’s the kind of forecast that makes you want to check your wax supply and make sure your board’s got no dings, because you’ll have plenty of time to look at it.

We’re looking at a real dry spell from this Friday, the 14th, all the way through to the 27th. That’s a solid two weeks where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the onshores are going to make a mess of what little is there. Don't get your hopes up.

That first decent look doesn't come until Friday the 28th, and it’s a big change. A pulse of about 5ft of SSW groundswell with a 14-second period shows up early, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’s looking like the best conditions we’ve seen in a while. The energy jumps right up to 1106, which is a nice solid push after all that nothingness. This is a standout, but it’s a long way off, so treat it as promising more than a sure thing.

Saturday the 29th is still looking okay, with about 4ft of SSW swell, but the energy backs off a bit. It’s a decent option if you missed the Friday morning window.

The standout here, without a doubt, is the Friday morning session on the 28th. That bigger, longer-period swell, light winds, and clean conditions are the only real highlight in the whole 16-day run. Just remember, Exiles (Exiles) is an inconsistent point break that needs the right conditions to fire. It's not a spot you can just rock up to any time. Good things come to those who wait, I guess.

This patch of flatness is just the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts change, so keep an eye on it, but plan for a lot of beach time and not much surfing until the end of the month.

Rusty.
