Fullers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk shop.

First thing – this stretch of surf is a mixed bag. The water at Fullers is running 56°, which feels a bit colder than what you’d usually expect for this time of year. You’ll feel it.

The weekend starts flat and funky. Saturday July 4th has a small 2ft SSW swell with a very long 14-second period, but the wind is light and cross-onshore mucking it up. The wave energy sits at 399 (moderate). Not worth the wetsuit. Sunday and Monday are similar – little waist-high waves, choppy, and messy.

Things perk up a touch on Tuesday July 7th. The morning brings a 4ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period, and the energy jumps to 1347 (strong). By afternoon the wind turns clean cross-offshore. That super long period is going to make the waves fat and inconsistent, hitting on the reefs at Fullers more like a pulse than a rhythm. It’ll have push, but you need to wait for it.

The real standout is Thursday July 9th. Morning swell hits 6ft from the NW with a short, punchy 9-second period, and the combined energy is a beefy 1099 (strong). By the afternoon it’s a solid 8ft. The wind locks into a clean cross-offshore from the NNW. That’s well over 8ft – expert-only conditions at Fullers. The crowds can be "sometimes" a factor, so be early if you’ve got the skills. This is the wave to chase.

The rest of the first week and second week fades fast. Friday the 10th is weak and poor. Saturday the 11th is a write-off. Sunday the 12th has a clean window with small surf, and into the following week, Monday July 13th shows clean waist-high NW swell.

After that, the swell gets small and inconsistent. The 18th and 19th of July have clean conditions but waves are tiny, barely 2ft. There are long gaps of nothing in the second week. The long period swells keep coming, but they’re too inconsistent and small to make a good session.

So, keep your eyes on Thursday July 9th. That’s your best shot. Everything else is a waiting game.

Rusty.
