Express Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's get into it.

We've got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and that's Express Point. It's a point break for advanced surfers, and it's got a pretty consistent run of swell coming through. The water temp is sittin' around 57°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

The first real action kicks off on the 25th of July. We've got a solid 8ft SW swell on Saturday, but the wind is a messy cross-off at 25 mph, giving it a combined energy of 1848. It's a bit of a battle, but it's clean. The afternoon eases off a touch with the same size swell, but the wind drops to 16 mph, making it a bit more manageable. The energy jumps to 3155, but it's still a grunt.

Sunday the 26th is where it gets good. The swell drops to a fun 5ft from the SW, but the wind goes offshore from the WNW at 12 mph. The energy is a moderate 486. This is a clean, proper session. The afternoon is even better with the wind going light offshore from the NW, and the same 4ft SW swell. That's a glassy afternoon if I've ever seen one.

Monday the 27th is a write-off. The swell is tiny at 3ft, and the wind is a strong cross-off. No go.

Tuesday the 28th sees the swell bump back up to 5ft from the SW, with a strong offshore wind from the NNW at 25 mph. The energy is a strong 710, and the period is 13 seconds. It's clean, but it'll be a fight to get out. The afternoon gets bigger at 6ft, but the wind is howling at 28 mph. Hard work.

Wednesday the 29th is a big one. The swell jumps to 13ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is a massive 11091. But the wind is a strong cross-shore at 28 mph, making it a messy, lumpy mess. This is for experts only, and even then, it's a maybe. The afternoon drops to 10ft, but the wind is still a problem.

Thursday the 30th is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops to 5ft, and the wind is a cross-shore, keeping the surface lumpy.

Friday the 31st is a nice little window. The swell is a playful 4ft from the SW, and the wind is offshore from the NW. Clean, gentle, and the energy is a moderate 409. The afternoon is the standout here: a 3ft SW swell with a glassy offshore breeze from the NW at just 3 mph. That's a 445 energy for a clean, light session.

Now, for the long-range stuff. Saturday, August 1st is the real gem. The swell is 4ft from the SW, but the period is a very long 18 seconds. The wind is a clean offshore at 16 mph, and the energy is 1130. The afternoon is even better: 6ft, 19-second period, and the same clean offshore wind. The energy jumps to 2145. This is a proper groundswell, perfect for a point break like Express Point. The only thing is, with a period that long, the sets will be spaced out, but the shape will be epic.

Sunday, August 2nd and Monday, August 3rd are blown out with strong cross and onshore winds.

Tuesday, August 4th is tiny, and from there, the swell fades into nothing for a few days.

Friday, August 7th pops up again with a 5ft SW swell, 19-second period, and offshore wind. The energy is 2130. This is a promising long-range call, but it's a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

The rest of the run into the second week is small or messy, with the wind picking up again. The surf will be here, but it's not gonna be the standout.

So, the best on offer? That's Saturday, August 1st at Express Point. The long-period groundswell, clean offshore winds, and moderate energy make it the pick of the bunch. The Friday, July 31st afternoon is a close second for a more relaxed, glassy session.

Rusty, signing off.
