Ingrina Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Ingrina are a proper flat spell and a tough watch for anyone who wants to get wet. This is a sheltered reef break that needs a good push from the southwest to get going, and we just aren't getting it. The combined swell energy barely tickles the dial, often sitting in the single digits (0-13), which is about as weak as it gets. Water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

We start off with a complete blank on Wednesday 15 July. Thursday 16 July is the same story – tiny, weak signals. In fact, for the first several days, there’s literally nothing to get excited about. The strongest "surf" we see is a few 1ft pulses from the west on Friday 17 July morning, but with a period of only 6 seconds, it’s just not going to wrap in properly. It’s a total write-off for a solid week.

The second week keeps the same rhythm. Around Monday 27 July we see a tiny 0.7ft west swell with 10 seconds, but the energy is still crap (8). The only slight flicker of life comes on Tuesday 28 July morning, when we see a 1ft west swell with a 12-second period and the highest combined energy of the whole period at 24. That’s still weak, but it’s the biggest number we get. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 19 mph, which is clean, but there’s just not enough water moving to make it worth a paddle.

Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there is not a single standout session. The wind is often clean and offshore, but the swell is practically non-existent. If you’re looking for paddle surfing, you’re out of luck. With that setup, the conditions are more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but even then it’s marginal.

Keep your chin up, though. Ingrina is inconsistent, and this kind of blank run happens. It tends not to stay poor for long, and the forecasts can change. For now, I’d find something else to do.

Rusty.
