The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming your way.
It’s a pretty quiet stretch overall, but there’s a short window that looks worth paddling out for. Most days are small and marginal, but we do get a couple glassy mornings that’ll clean things right up.
The spot to focus on is KM-200 - Totoritas. It’s a point that lights up with a SW swell, which is exactly what we see for most of this forecast. Water temp is 68°F, which is running much warmer than average for this time of year – that anomaly is about 7°F above normal, so that’s pretty unusual.
From Sunday the 9th through the middle of next week, it’s consistently small: waves running 2 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the SW, with periods between 13 and 15 seconds. Energy is moderate at best – for example, Wednesday the 12th morning only shows a combined energy of 111 (moderate wave energy). Wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s not looking great for quality.
Your real standout comes on Monday morning, 17 August. Swell is 3 ft from the SW with a 10-second period, but the wind is glass – dead calm. That combination with the combined energy of 289 (moderate wave energy) means clean, rideable conditions. Just keep in mind this break is only “fairly consistent,” so the sets may be a little spaced out.
Tuesday the 18th also sees a glassy morning, with 2 ft waves from the WSW. Energy is lower at 188 (moderate wave energy), but it’ll be smooth.
From Wednesday the 19th onward through the 24th, we’re back into weak, small surf: 2 ft to 2 ft, shorter periods of 11 to 13 seconds, and combined energy dropping as low as 110 (weak wave energy). Light onshore winds are common but the biggest problem is just the lack of push.
So bottom line: make the most of Monday the 17th morning at KM-200 - Totoritas for a glassy, clean session on small waves. After that, things go quiet.
Rusty.
