The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting with a bit of a slow burner. The first few days have some swell running, but the conditions are a bit messy for a lot of it. The main event looks like it’s going to be Fullers (reef). This spot is an exposed reef break, best for advanced surfers, and it’s inconsistent, so you need to be patient. The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is about 1° cooler than average for this time of year, so it’s pretty standard.
The best window of the whole outlook is shaping up for Thursday, 10 September. Thursday morning at Fullers is the standout. The combined swell energy is strong, hitting 1,113 (moderate wave energy), with a clean 3-foot SSW groundswell coming in at a very long 17-second period. The wind is a light NW cross-off breeze at 6 mph, which will keep the faces clean. This is a real treat for experienced surfers – the long period means the reef will handle it beautifully, but expect some lulls between sets. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.
The day before, Wednesday, 9 September, has a couple of promising windows too. Wednesday morning is glassy with a 3-foot S swell (11-second period), and the energy is low at 379, so it’s small but clean. Wednesday afternoon picks up a bit with a 2-foot SW groundswell at a very long 19 seconds, and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate at 554.
After that, things start to fade. From Friday, 11 September, through to the following week, it gets pretty marginal. The swell drops off, the wind turns more cross or cross-on, and the scores drop right off. There’s a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions from the 13th to the 16th, with only tiny, short-period leftovers. It’s a bit of a flat spell, but that’s normal for this reef when the swell direction shifts.
There’s a little flicker of life on Thursday, 17 September morning, with a 4-foot NW windswell (7-second period) and a clean cross-off breeze, but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit junky.
Overall, your best bet is Thursday morning, 10 September at Fullers. Get on it early, because the afternoon gets a bit windier.
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.
