Ingrina Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the local stretch over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a grim run for surf. The whole 16-day window is almost completely flat, with only tiny scraps of energy showing up. We’re looking at a long, long gap with nothing worthwhile on offer. The water at Ingrina is sitting at 66°F and that’s a full 4°F colder than normal for this time of year, so it’s way colder than it should be – you’ll definitely feel that bite.

The first little bump we see is on the morning of Friday the 24th of July. It’s a tiny 0.3ft swell from the south, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is next to nothing at just 2 (weak). The wind is a cross-off from the NNW at 16 mph, so the surface will be clean, but with knee-high dribble at best, it’s really not worth paddling out for. The whole weekend stays the same – Saturday the 25th has a literal zero for swell, though there’s a moderate offshore wind in the morning (NNW 12 mph), so the water will look clean, but there’s nothing to ride.

Sunday the 26th morning shows a tiny 0.3ft south swell, but the period stretches to 15 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, which usually means better shape, but for a wave this small it’s just a long wait between nothing. Combined energy is still only 5 (weak). The offshore wind (N 16 mph) will keep it clean, but it’s barely a ripple.

From Monday the 27th right through to Saturday the 8th of August, the swell is essentially flat – zeros across the board. The model shows a few days of offshore or glassy wind, like Tuesday the 4th of August morning with a 0.3ft west swell at 14 seconds (combined energy 4), then Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th with a 0.3ft south swell at 12 seconds, but it’s all the same story – tiny, weak, and unsurfable. The morning of Friday the 7th of August is actually glassy, with a light WNW breeze at 3 mph, and a 0.3ft west swell at 15 seconds, but the energy is still only 4 (weak). It’s clean, but you’d be floating on a log.

There is no standout session here. Not a single day breaks the 0.3ft mark, and the combined energy never cracks 100. This is a proper flat spell. If you’re desperate for something to do, the clean offshore conditions on the 7th might make it a nice day for a paddle, but for surfing, we’re skunked.
