Indicators Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Indicators.

Straight up, it’s a tough outlook. This sheltered point break is an advanced-only setup that needs a very specific WNW swell, and honestly, for the first week, we’re just not getting it. The swell that is arriving is coming from the wrong directions, mostly SSW, and the energy is all over the place. There are going to be several days with almost nothing worthwhile, so don't get your hopes up for quick sessions. The water temp is sitting at 61°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a real standout.

The first real glimmer of something rideable pops up on Sunday afternoon, July 12th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW, and here’s the kicker – the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is moderate at 585, and while the period is short at 8 seconds, the clean conditions matter more here. It’s your best option in this first stretch, but it’s a short window.

Looking further ahead, there’s some promise but it’s a long way off. Saturday morning, July 18th shows a 4ft WNW swell with a bit more energy (730), and offshore WSW winds. It’s marginal, but it’s the closest thing to a proper session we see in the whole run. The following Sunday morning, July 19th, has a tiny bit of swell from the SSW with a decent period of 16 seconds, but the size is only 2ft, so it's barely breaking. Anything after that in the second week looks pretty flat with poor conditions, so don’t hold your breath.

The real standout here is that Sunday afternoon, July 12th. It’s the only time we get glassy conditions and a swell from the right direction. It might not be epic, but for this spot, you take what you can get. The crowds are likely to be there, so get in early.

Rusty.
