Infernillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for Infernillo. It's a reef and point set-up, exposed to the SW, and it's a consistent spot. That means when the swell lines up, it's game on. The water's sitting at 54°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want that extra layer on.

We kick things off on Thursday the 2nd, but it's a bit of a write-off. There's a 5ft SW swell running, but the wind is cross-onshore at 15 km/h, making it choppy. It's a no-go.

Friday the 3rd is where the magic starts. Morning is glassy with a clean 3ft SW swell, and the energy is moderate (415). By the afternoon, it gets even better. The swell drops to 2ft, but it's coming from the SW with a super long period of 22 seconds. That's groundswell gold. It's glassy, with a strong energy reading (506). This is the standout for the whole run in my book.

Saturday the 4th is a mixed bag. Morning brings a 4ft SW swell with a light cross-shore, but it's a bit cloudy. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 5ft, with a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 20 km/h. The energy is very strong (1790), but the forecast says it's marginal, likely a tide issue.

Sunday the 5th is a big day for the crew who like it solid. The morning offers a 7ft SW swell with a 16-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, and massive energy (2321). This is excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon is still 7ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and the quality drops off.

Monday the 6th morning is another cracker. A 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, and strong energy (1526). Perfect for the intermediate crew. The afternoon gets chopped up again.

Tuesday the 7th morning is clean with a 4ft SW swell, but the energy drops to moderate (560). Still a nice session.

Wednesday the 8th is a hidden gem. Both morning and afternoon are glassy. The morning has a 5ft SW swell (1628 energy), and the afternoon pumps up to 6ft SW (2675 energy). Glassy conditions on a solid swell? That's a serious call.

After that, things get a bit messy. Thursday the 9th through to Tuesday the 14th is a run of marginal conditions and smaller swells in the 3ft to 5ft range, often with cross or cross-onshore winds. There's a nice glassy session on the morning of Tuesday the 14th with a 5ft W swell, but it's short period.

Wednesday the 15th sees a bump in size with a 6ft W swell and a long period of 12 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore. The energy is very strong (1778). It's a possibility, but not a standout.

We finish the outlook on Friday the 17th with a solid 7ft to 7ft SW swell, long period (15 seconds), and very strong energy (over 2100). The wind is cross-shore though, so it's one for the experienced heads only.

If I have to pick the absolute best, it's Friday the 3rd afternoon for the glassy, long-period magic, closely followed by Wednesday the 8th for the glassy, solid swell. For sheer power for the experts, Sunday the 5th morning is a ripper.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
