Farmer Burgers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here with a look at the next couple weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so don’t get too fired up early on, but there’s definitely a window or two worth planning around.

The first few days are going to be a bit of a struggle. We have waves, but the wind is messy and the quality isn’t there. You’ll be scratching around for anything rideable while dealing with chop. There's a few days in there where it's not really worth the paddle.

We're zeroed in on Farmer Burgers (Crest) for this whole run. The biggest standout, and I mean the absolute highlight, is the morning of Monday the 17th. That’s over a week out, so it’s just a promise right now, but it’s a big one. The swell is forecast to be a solid 8ft from the WSW with a 14-second period, and there’s a ton of energy behind it. This is expert territory, way too heavy for the learners. The morning is looking glassy with almost no wind at all. A proper reef like this will be lighting up. This is the one to mark on the calendar.

Before that, the weekend of the 15th and 16th has some fun surf, but it's not the same quality. Saturday the 15th morning looks fun with 5ft from the W and a clean cross-off breeze. It’ll be a fun size for most. But Sunday the 16th afternoon turns onshore and choppy, so that window closes quickly.

That Monday the 17th session is the big one. A solid follow-up is Tuesday the 18th morning. The swell eases to a super workable 5ft from the WSW, and it’s glassy again. That’ll be a fantastic morning of clean reef waves.

After that, the second week dies down in size. The 19th and 20th will be smaller and cleaner but without the same power. By the 24th, the swell bumps back up a touch to 5ft, but the winds are more onshore, which ruins the surface.

Keep an eye on the morning of Wednesday the 12th. There’s a proper strong offshore gale, and the swell is 4ft. The energy is strong, but that wind is going to make it almost impossible to paddle out and stand up. More of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one.

And if you're checking the 25th, it is small and clean but not worth the effort. The real highlight is Monday the 17th. It’s a standout, a proper reef with a strong WSW groundswell, pushing over 8ft. That’s a day for the experienced crew only.

Rusty out.
