The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening on the water.
Fullers is the spot that’s got the goods. This is a reef break that’s proper exposed to the SW, with a reputation for being inconsistent, but when it lights up, it’s special. The water temperature is running about 57°F right now – that’s a bit cooler than average for this time of year, so you’ll want to layer up. The combined swell energy runs moderate to strong (920 to 1347) over the first week, driven by long-period SW groundswell that’s pushing 16 to 21 seconds. Long period like that means better shape, more energy, and bigger gaps between sets – makes paddling out that bit easier, but on a reef break like this, the quality will be worth the wait.
The real standout is Saturday morning, July 25th: clean cross-off NW breeze at 9 mph, with a 3ft SSW swell hitting at a very long 21 seconds. Combined energy is strong at 920. It’s small in size but it’ll be glassy, lined up, and absolutely pristine for a reef. Because this spot is inconsistent, a morning like this is a proper treat. Expect crowds to be possible – it’s a known location.
Sunday the 26th morning is a near-carbon copy: same NW cross-off breeze, 4ft SW swell at 19 seconds, energy still high at 911. Another cracker.
Monday the 27th morning holds up: 4ft SSW swell at 18 seconds, clean conditions, cross-off winds. Still very good. The afternoons get a bit dicey with stronger wind, so mornings are the call.
Tuesday the 28th brings a little more size at 4ft SSW, period at 18 seconds, energy climbing to 1156. Still clean and cross-off. Solid.
From Wednesday the 29th through July 31, conditions ease slightly: period drops to 14–16 seconds, winds become more cross-shore, but energy remains strong. Still surfable but not the same perfection. By August 1st, swell holds around 5ft to 6ft but the period drops to 8–10 seconds, turning into a short-period windswell from the WNW. Energy falls fast (down to 296–790), and with cross to cross-on winds, it gets messy. This part of the forecast looks more suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After August 5th, the swell collapses to 2ft to 2ft on short-period SW to SSE swell. Most days are poor, with onshore or light variable winds. There’s a brief glassy moment on Thursday afternoon August 6th with 2ft SW at 13 seconds, but it’s tiny and ordinary. From there, through August 9th, it’s mostly poor with cross-on winds – a real dead zone.
Best call: get out Saturday July 25th and Sunday July 26th mornings. That’s your window for the cleanest, longest-period groundswell at Fullers.
Rusty.

Information about the Fullers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Fullers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fullers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fullers surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Fullers) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Fullers may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Fullers is 44 km (27 miles) from Monterey. If you plan a vacation in Monterey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Monterey. Monterey has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
