Isla Negra Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it for the next stretch.

We’re looking at a solid run of waves coming up here. The first few days have some small, clean options, but the real standout is building through the week and into the following weekend. There’s a nice long-period groundswell from the west-southwest on the way, and most of the mornings are looking clean with light offshore winds. The water’s sitting at about 56.8°, which is just a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so nothing wild, but pleasant enough.

Sunday the 13th is a gentle start. Waves are only around 1.6 ft from the west-southwest with a very long 18-second period. The energy is moderate (227). Morning is glassy with light offshore winds, so it’ll be clean, but it’s small. This is a good session for a longboard or a funboard, not much push. Afternoon picks up a bit to 2 ft, but the wind swings cross-off and gets a bit stronger, so the morning is the call here.

Monday the 14th is where it starts to get interesting. Morning has waves building to 3 ft, west-southwest swell with a 15-second period, and clean offshore winds. The energy jumps into the strong range (545). That’s a noticeable step up. This is a good session, clean, with some proper lines forming.

Tuesday the 15th keeps it going. Morning has 3.3 ft from the west-southwest at 13 seconds, offshore winds, and moderate energy (317). Clean again. Afternoon is a little smaller and the wind goes cross-off, so stick to the early.

Wednesday the 16th is a write-off. The swell drops to 1.3 ft and the wind is onshore in the morning, then cross-onshore in the afternoon. Not worth paddling out. Energy is weak (33). Take the day off.

Thursday the 17th sees a bit of life return. Morning is 1.6 ft with light offshore winds and clean, but it’s small. Energy is low (128). Afternoon improves with 2.6 ft and cross-off wind, clean. Surfable but nothing special.

Friday the 18th is better. Morning has 3.6 ft from the west-southwest at 11 seconds, light cross-off wind, clean. Energy is moderate (280). This is a good, solid session. Afternoon holds at 3 ft, same wind direction, clean. Both sessions are fine.

Saturday the 19th is a highlight. Morning has 3.3 ft from the west-southwest at 10 seconds, and it’s glassy. Flat calm, no wind, clean as a whistle. Energy is moderate (212). This is the kind of morning you don’t want to sleep through. The waves aren’t huge, but the conditions are perfect. Afternoon stays clean with cross-off winds, but the glass is gone.

Sunday the 20th drops off a bit. Morning is 2.6 ft with cross-off wind, clean but ordinary. Afternoon gets cross-onshore and messy. Not great.

Monday the 21st morning brings back 3.6 ft from the west-southwest at 9 seconds, cross-off wind, clean, with moderate energy (217). A good session. Afternoon jumps to 4.6 ft, but the wind is stronger cross-off, making it a bit lumpy. Still surfable but the morning is the pick.

Tuesday the 22nd morning has 4.3 ft, west-southwest swell at 9 seconds, offshore wind, clean. Energy is moderate (292). A good, punchy session. Afternoon gets bigger at 4.6 ft but the wind picks up to 25 km/h cross-off, so it’s messy.

Wednesday the 23rd is a drop-off. Morning has 3 ft at 8 seconds, offshore wind, but the period is short and the energy is weak (113). Ordinary. Afternoon is even smaller and messy.

Thursday the 24th morning brings back some life with 3.6 ft from the west-southwest at 12 seconds, cross-off wind, clean, and strong energy (394). A good session. Afternoon holds at 3.9 ft with similar conditions but the wind is a bit stronger.

Now, here’s the standout of the entire run. Friday the 25th morning. Waves are 3.9 ft from the west-southwest, 11-second period, light offshore wind, and the energy is very strong (551). This is the best on offer. Clean, punchy, and consistent. If you can only pick one session, this is it. The afternoon gets bigger at 5.2 ft, but the wind goes cross-off and it becomes more of a challenge. That size is getting into expert territory, and with the cross-off, it won’t be as clean.

Saturday the 26th morning has 4.3 ft from the west at 12 seconds, offshore wind, clean, with strong energy (472). Another very good session. Afternoon is similar size but the wind is strong and cross-off.

Sunday the 27th fades. Morning is 2.6 ft, ordinary. Afternoon is smaller and messy.
