Indicators Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple weeks. It starts off real slow. From Friday the 11th through the following week, we’ve got a lot of days with tiny surf, bad wind, and poor conditions. From Saturday afternoon the 12th right through to Friday the 18th, it’s pretty much a total write-off – cross-on winds, choppy water, and swell mostly below 3 ft. That’s a solid week of not much.

The first decent moment comes Saturday the 19th in the early morning. The wind is glassy, and we’ve got 2 ft of swell from the SSW, period a long 18 seconds. Combined energy is weak at 241, so it’s small and clean, not powerful. That’s good for a longboard in the dawn calm.

Then Sunday the 20th morning is the real highlight of the whole stretch. Glassy wind, 2 ft from the SW, period still 18 seconds, and combined energy bumps up to 444 – moderate. It’s small but clean, and the point here gets crowded often, so get there early. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum WNW for this spot, but glassy conditions smooth that out.

Monday the 21st morning brings a bigger pulse: 5 ft from the WNW, period short at 9 seconds, combined energy at 703 (strong). But the wind is cross-on, so it’s going to be messy and choppy. Could be interesting for a strong swimmer or a kiter, but for paddle surfing, it’s marginal at best.

The last little glimmer is Friday the 25th morning, a week and a half out. Glassy wind again, 3 ft from the WNW, period 12 seconds, combined energy 533. That’s a good combo of clean conditions and moderate power. Worth keeping an eye on.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

So, the best on offer is Sunday the 20th morning – cleanest, most consistent of the bunch. Friday the 25th is a long-range maybe. The rest is mostly flat or blown out.

Rusty.
