KM-200 - Totoritas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Totoritas. It’s a point break that breaks fairly consistently, so it’s always worth a look. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly, mate, so you’ll be in for a warm one.

The forecast starts with a bit of a flat spell, but the first real chance to get wet comes on Tuesday, July 28, in the afternoon. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, and it’s packing a combined energy of 532 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and onshore, though, so it’s not going to be super clean. Conditions are marginal, but there’s enough energy to get a few waves. The crowd is sometimes a factor here, so you might have a few others out.

Wednesday morning, July 29, is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops slightly to 4ft from the SW, period 13 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s a messy one. The afternoon is even worse, with poor conditions.

Thursday, July 30, stays small with 3ft from the WSW. The morning has a cross-on breeze, and the afternoon is onshore. Not great.

Friday, July 31, is the real standout. Morning brings a glassy 2ft swell from the SW, period 12 seconds. The wind is glassy – that’s a major positive. The combined energy is 160 (weak wave energy), but the clean conditions will make for some fun, small waves. It’s not a monster, but it’s about as good as it gets for a point break. The crowd is possible, so get in early.

After that, things drop off again. The weekend of August 1-2 is small and messy, with poor conditions. August 3-4 is tiny, with waves under 2ft and mostly onshore winds. This is a real lull.

Then we look toward the second week. Monday, August 5, picks up a little with a 2ft swell from the SW, but the wind is cross-onshore. Not inspiring.

The real hope for the second week is Thursday, August 6. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the SW, period 13 seconds, and a combined energy of 394 (moderate wave energy). The wind is onshore, though, so it’s not perfect. The afternoon bumps up to 2ft but with a very long period of 16 seconds (groundswell) and a combined energy of 471 (moderate wave energy). That’s a lot of energy for the size, but those long-period swells can break a bit straight at a point break. Still, it’s a promising one.

The best of the entire outlook is Sunday, August 9, in the morning. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SW, period 13 seconds, combined energy of 265 (moderate wave energy), and the wind is glassy. That’s a clean, solid option. The crowd is possible, so it’s worth a paddle.

Monday, August 10, onwards fades again. Wednesday, August 12, has a glassy morning with 2ft from the SW, but the energy is low (160). It’s a small, clean session.

Overall, the standout is the glassy morning of Friday, July 31, and the glassy morning of Sunday, August 9. The best size and energy is on Thursday, August 6, but the wind is onshore, so it’s a gamble. For the far-out stuff, keep an eye on it, but it’s a bit of a waiting game.
