Express Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Express Point’s got cookin’ for the next couple weeks.

We start with a run of waves from Wednesday the 15th of July. Not a barnstormer right away, but there’s some proper quality tucked into the second half of this week. Water temp’s about 56.7°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothin’ unusual.

Wednesday afternoon kicks off with 6.6ft of SW swell at a 14-second interval. Wind’s cross-off from the west at 12 mph, and the wave energy is solid at 1528, but the call says marginal. Not a session to get excited about.

Thursday the 16th is where we hit the sweet spot. Morning’s okay with 5.9ft of SW swell at 15 seconds and cross-shore wind, but Thursday afternoon is the real gem. Wind shifts to light WSW at 6 mph, cross-off, and the swell holds at 5.9ft from the SW with a 15-second period. Energy sits at 1480, and the report says excellent for experienced surfers. This is your standout – Express Point (Express-Point) will be smooth, lined up, and offering some long, rippable walls. That long period means bigger sets with good gaps – perfect for a point.

Friday the 17th keeps it clean. Morning has 5.2ft of SW swell (16 seconds) with a NNW cross-off breeze at 9 mph. Afternoon turns glassy with offshore NW wind at just 3 mph, same swell size, and energy at 1314. Clean waves and open faces. Keep in mind, crowds are often a thing here, so get out early.

Saturday the 18th drops to 4.6ft of SW swell in the morning, but the afternoon is pure magic – glassy calm, zero wind from the east, 4.3ft swell, energy at 586. It’ll be small but perfect for a longboard and a relaxing session.

Sunday the 19th is smaller again – 3.0ft in the morning, 2.6ft in the afternoon – but still clean. Nothing special, but still surfable.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are a write-off. Swell drops to 2.0ft, wind howls from the NNW at 19 mph, and the ratings are poor. Don’t bother.

Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd bring a rebound. Thursday afternoon is the pick: 4.6ft of SW swell with a 16-second period, light offshore NW wind at 9 mph, and wave energy at 1029. Clean, lined-up waves with that long-period push. Another solid window.

Friday the 24th through Sunday the 27th gets lumpy. Friday has 5.9ft of SW swell but cross-shore wind and chop – poor. Saturday the 25th pumps 6.9ft of SW swell with a 16-second period, energy at a massive 2445, but it’s marginal and cross-off. Sunday the 26th has strong offshore wind from the NW at 22-25 mph – clean but gnarly to paddle into, swell around 4.9-5.2ft. Experts only.

Monday the 27th brings the biggest swell: 7.5-8.2ft from the SW at 16 seconds, but cross-shore wind and chop. Energy peaks at 3147 – that’s serious power, but messy. Might be more fun on a kite than a paddleboard.

From Tuesday the 28th on, it fades. Wind turns cross-onshore, and conditions get poor. Wednesday the 29th shows a small pulse of 3.6ft SW with light offshore wind, but Thursday the 30th has just 1.3ft of swell with a crazy long 21-second period and fresh offshore wind – not for ridin’, just a sign the ocean’s still alive.

Best bets: Thursday afternoon the 16th and Thursday afternoon the 23rd. Clean, solid SW swell, light offshore wind, at a classic point break. Friday the 17th is a close second.
