The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Totoritas. It’s a quiet outlook, nothing to get too fired up about, but there are a couple of windows worth mentioning.
We start Friday the 7th of August with small surf — about knee to waist high (0.9m) — from the WSW, with a long 14-second period. The water is 68°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a bonus. Winds are light at 3 mph and favorable, but the surf is marginal. By Saturday and Sunday, the swell drops further to 0.4m to 0.5m (around ankle to shin high), with light cross-onshore winds making it choppy. Not a good call for paddling out.
From Monday the 10th through the middle of next week, conditions stay poor. Swell runs 0.6m to 0.8m (about waist high at best), with periods between 12 and 15 seconds. Winds are light but mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so the surface won’t be clean. The energy is moderate, but the quality isn’t there.
In the second week, around Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th, we see a little bump to 0.8m to 0.9m from the WSW, with a very long period of 18 to 19 seconds. That’s real groundswell, which can work well on the point but means long lulls between sets. Winds stay light but are not offshore, so it’s still just marginal. This is the closest thing to a highlight, but it’s not a standout.
From the 16th through the 22nd, the swell fades. Heights stay under 1.1m (chest high at best), periods drop to 12 to 14 seconds, and winds are light onshore. The energy drops into the low 200s and finally down to 118 by the 22nd. The last few days are basically flat and barely rideable.
Overall, this is a long stretch of small, mediocre surf. The best window might be the morning of Friday the 7th or the afternoon of Thursday the 13th, when the waves have the most period and the wind is lightest. But don’t hold your breath for anything special. The break is consistent enough that it won’t stay this quiet forever, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Stay tuned, and check back.
Rusty.
