The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
The only spot worth a mention is Fullers, a reef break that’s open to the SW swell. The water’s about 59°F, which is roughly 1°F cooler than normal for this time of year – nothin’ crazy, just a little nip in the air.
We’ve got a long stretch of small, so-so surf. The swells are mostly 2 to 4 ft from the SSW, with periods anywhere from 13 to 19 seconds – so there’s some groundswell in there, but it’s tiny. The combined wave energy is moderate, running from about 350 to 675 (call it moderate energy). The winds are light, mostly cross or cross-off, which is a good sign for clean faces, but the size just isn’t there.
The best window, and the only real standout, is Saturday, August 15th. The swell hits 3 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is at 675 (moderate), and the wind on Saturday afternoon goes cross-offshore from the WNW at 12 mph. That’ll give you clean, smooth lines for a reef break. This spot is inconsistent, so when it fires, it’s worth it. Crowds are possible, so be ready to share.
The next few days (Sunday 16th to Tuesday 18th) hold similar 3 to 3 ft SSW swell, with clean cross-off winds on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. The period stays in the 14-16 second range, so the shape will be there, but it’s not going to blow your mind.
Then Friday, August 21st throws a curveball: a 6 ft NW windswell with a tiny 6-second period and cross-shore wind. That’s a bumpy, messy mess – not for the paddle board. The following weekend (22nd-23rd) shifts to a WNW swell around 3 to 4 ft with periods of 7-10 seconds – still short and sloppy, with light cross-onshore winds.
The final week, from August 24th on, we’re back to small SW groundswell (2 to 3 ft) with 15-18 second periods. The energy picks up to 753 on the 27th (moderate energy), but it’s still small and the wind is light cross-onshore. Not a total loss, but nothing to get stoked about.
If you want to paddle, aim for Saturday, August 15th afternoon. That’s your best bet. The rest of the 16 days is a waiting game.
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.
