Infernillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab ya board, let's see what's on the menu for Infernillo.

Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a mixed bag here. The first few days are gonna be a bit of a wrestle, but the big news is the standout window that's shaping up. The water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Starting Thursday the 9th, it's a bit of a write-off. We've got a 7ft SW swell rolling in Thursday morning, but that cross-shore wind is gonna mess it up, making it choppy and marginal. The afternoon drops off fast. Friday the 10th is where it starts to get interesting. Early morning, we've got a clean 4ft SW swell with a light offshore, and by the afternoon it goes glassy with a 4ft SW swell. That's the kind of session you dream about – small, clean, and all to yourself if you're lucky.

Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are a step back. The wind picks up, and the swell gets a bit jumbled with that cross-chop, so don't expect much.

Now, here's the real highlight. Monday the 13th is where it's at. The morning is dead flat at 2ft, but hold on for the afternoon. That's when we get a 7ft WSW groundswell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is pumping at 2217, and it's gonna be excellent for experienced surfers. That's a solid, clean, powerful wave. The following day, Tuesday the 14th, keeps the size up with a 10ft WSW swell, but the wind is a bit more active. The morning is cross-shore, but the afternoon cleans up with a light offshore, making it another excellent option for the crew who know what they're doing.

After that, the size drops off and the wind becomes a factor. Wednesday the 15th is clean but smaller, and then from Thursday the 16th through the weekend, it’s a bit of a gamble. The wind gets strong, especially from the 18th to the 21st, with near-gale force winds making it a total mess for surfing. That 8ft WNW swell on the 18th and 22nd is just gonna be blown out. Honestly, you'd be better off with a kite than a paddle board on those days.

The second week is a bit of a wash. The swell is inconsistent, and the wind is predominantly onshore or howling offshore. The 22nd of July has an 8ft NW swell, but it's a short-period 9-second affair, and it's gonna be lumpy. It's a long way out, but it looks more like a struggle than a treat.

So, the true standouts are clearly the afternoon of Monday the 13th and the afternoon of Tuesday the 14th. Those are the windows to clear your schedule.
