The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Fort Cronkite Rodeo Beach over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a tough stretch ahead.
Honestly, this is one of those periods where you might want to store the board and do something else. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There are no good surf options on offer at all. Over and over, the forecast is calling it "poor surf conditions." That's the reality for this sheltered sandbar spot.
The first few days, we've got some waist-high swell around the 4ft to 5ft mark, with a moderate combined wave energy in the 400 to 574 range, but the problem is the wind. It's swinging onshore and cross-onshore, which is going to chop it all up. Sunday morning, the 9th, is the closest we get to anything rideable, with 5ft from the WNW at a 10-second period and just a light breeze. But even then, the call is "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It's a real tease.
As we move into the second week, the swell drops right off, bottoming out around 1ft to 3ft. The energy stays moderate, dipping into the 200s and 300s, and while the periods get long (15 to 20 seconds on that SW groundswell), the fetch just isn't there. That long-period stuff is better suited for a point break or reef anyway, not a beach setup like this. It's a frustrating pattern, but for this area, a blank run like this isn't uncommon. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a solid pass.
Stay tuned, and maybe clean the wax off your board for the next window. This one's a dud.
Rusty.
