Ingrina Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up – if you're looking at the Ingrina reef for the next couple of weeks, you're gonna be staring at a whole lot of flat, clean, but totally surf-less ocean. It's a tough one.

We’re looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, the first week plus is a write-off. From Friday the 24th of July right through to the start of August, the swell readings are barely registering a pulse. You've got tiny 0.3ft pulses from the south on a few mornings, but the combined energy is weak – a pathetic (2) or (5) – so it's not even worth paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is a chilly 4° colder than normal for this time of year, so it feels proper cold, too.

The only positive is that the winds are often offshore or light, so the surface is clean. But clean and flat is just a lake. You'll have a solid gap from Friday the 24th all the way until at least Sunday the 2nd of August with absolutely no surf worth mentioning.

The Only Glimmer on the Horizon

If you’re desperate and have been watching the charts, there’s a little flicker in the second week. On Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, we finally see a different swell direction – a tiny 0.3ft from the west, with a 14-second period. That long period is interesting, and combined with a fresh offshore wind, it might just put a little bit of shape into the reef. But don't get carried away; the combined energy is still just (4). It’s a long-range hope, not a guarantee.

Honestly, for this stretch, Ingrina is looking more like a wind-protected spot for a picnic than a surf break. The consistent clean conditions and flat seas mean it’s just not happening for paddle surfing. Stay patient, folks. It tends not to stay this poor forever.
