Impossibles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run shaping up at Impossibles. This reef break is a proper advanced wave—very consistent and fairly exposed, so when the SSW swell lines roll in, it knows how to handle them. Water temp is sitting right around 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The action kicks off Saturday July 4th morning: clear skies, moderate offshore breeze from the ESE, and a nice 6ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds. That long period means real power, but on a reef like Impossibles it’s going to line up beautifully. Combined energy is strong at 1989—you’ll feel every bit of it. A little later Saturday afternoon holds 7ft with similar quality. This is the kind of weekend that makes you glad you live near the coast. Crowds are possible—it's a known spot—but with that consistency, there’s plenty of waves to go around.

Sunday July 5th keeps the goodness coming: 6ft in the morning, offshore gentle breeze, glassy clean. Still very solid. The afternoon picks up a touch more wind but stays offshore.

By Monday July 6th the swell drops a bit but still offers 6ft in the afternoon with a moderate offshore. The morning is smaller at 4ft and fresh breeze, but still clean. Tuesday July 7th sees a dip—5ft and fresh wind, more marginal. Not the pick.

Now the true standout hits Wednesday July 8th. Both morning and afternoon are firing. The afternoon session brings 7ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, combined energy of 2136—that’s punching hard. Moderate offshore keeps it clean. This is the best wave of the whole stretch. If you can only paddle out once, make it Wednesday afternoon.

Thursday July 9th still has size around 6ft but rain showers and a fresh 22 mph offshore wind—still offshore, so it’s ridable, but a bit wild. Afternoon clears up. Friday July 10th holds 6ft clean conditions, and Saturday July 11th tapers to 5ft and 4ft, still good for advanced surfers.

After that, the swell backs off. Sunday July 12th morning is only 3ft, and it drops further. Monday July 13th has a weird 2ft swell with a 21-second period—very long period but tiny height, so only really for those who love waiting between sets. Tuesday July 14th picks up again to 4–4ft with long period and fresh offshore, but it’s not as consistent. Through the second week, the pattern stays in the 4–5ft range with mostly offshore winds, but the earlier days are where the magic is. By July 17th and 18th the winds go cross-off, still clean but less ideal.

Bottom line: the first week is the time. The standout is Wednesday July 8th afternoon—big, clean, powerful. The weekend of July 4th–5th is a close second. After the 11th, it’s still surfable for experienced folks but nothing to rearrange your schedule for.
