Alright, grab your board and listen up. This is Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on the surf coming our way.
We’ve got a stretch ahead that’s got some serious potential, but you gotta pick your moments. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Let’s break it down.
The real standout window is Sunday morning, July 12th. I’m talking about a solid 8ft swell out of the ENE, with an 11-second period that’s got some punch behind it – the combined energy is a meaty 1289. But the kicker? The wind is glassy from the west. That means clean, smooth faces and no chop to mess with your line. This is the one to circle on the calendar for experienced surfers. The swell is honking, so if you’re not confident in bigger water, maybe sit this one out.
After that, things get a bit messy with cross and cross-onshore winds through Monday and into the week. Tuesday the 14th morning shapes up nice though – a clean 6ft from the ENE with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. That’s a session where you’ll find some good lines without the crowd pressure, as Isla Uvita only gets crowded sometimes.
Jumping ahead to Thursday the 23rd, we’ve got another serious contender. The afternoon session sees a 8ft NE swell with glassy conditions. The period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s a wind swell, but when it’s that clean and the combined energy is a hefty 1270, it’s going to be offering up some fun, punchy waves. This one is also marked for experienced surfers due to the size.
There’s a stretch from Friday the 24th that drops right off. Swell heights tumble to around 3ft or less, and the energy plummets into the low hundreds. That’s a few days of barely surfable, weak conditions, lasting through the weekend and into Monday. The good news is it starts to pick back up, but that’s further out.
Overall, don’t waste your time on the choppy days. Aim for that Sunday the 12th morning session – that is your best bet, hands down. Glassy, powerful, and waiting.
Rusty.
