La Caffrine Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are definitely some windows where it's gonna light up. The first few days are a bit on the small side, but we've got some cleaner windows and a solid pulse of energy coming in later.

We start off on Monday the 10th here at La Caffrine. Water temp is sitting at 76.6°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can get away with a springy. The morning is pretty marginal, with a bit of onshore wind and a 4.3ft SW swell. The afternoon cleans up nicely though, turning glassy with the swell bumping to 4.9ft. That's a much better window, and it's a sign of things to come.

Tuesday the 11th looks like a great little stretch. Both the morning and afternoon are glassy with light winds, and we've got a consistent 4.3ft and then 3.9ft SW swell. It's not huge, but it's clean, and the moderate energy will make for some fun, rippable waves. A good day to get the board wet without too much hassle.

Wednesday the 12th is a step back. The morning is okay, but the wind is on it, and the afternoon gets a bit messy with some cross-shore breeze. The swell holds around 4.3ft to 4.6ft, but the quality drops. It's a skunk day unless you're desperate.

Thursday the 13th is another mixed one. The morning has some cross-on wind, keeping it below par. But the afternoon turns glassy again with a 3.9ft SW swell. The period drops a bit, but it should still offer up some clean, if not super powerful, waves.

Now, Friday the 14th is where things start to get interesting. The morning is glassy with a solid 5.6ft SW swell and a period of 13 seconds. The energy is building, and it's looking like a proper fun session. But the real standout is the afternoon. The swell drops to 3.3ft, but the period jumps way up to 21 seconds. This is a long-period groundswell, and even though it's smaller, that energy is gonna be powerful and well-structured. This is a great time to be on a point or reef, as the long period can make it a bit shifty at a beach break, but the quality will be there.

The weekend kicks off with a bit of a building swell. Saturday the 15th in the morning is still a bit messy with an onshore wind. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 5.9ft with an 18-second period, and the energy is strong, but the cross-shore wind keeps it from being perfect. It's got size, but it's not clean.

Sunday the 16th is the big one. The morning is glassy with a solid 7.9ft SSW groundswell, a 16-second period, and a huge energy reading. This is proper, powerful surf. It's going to be a standout of the whole period. It's a bit on the bigger side, so it's for experienced surfers. The afternoon is still excellent, with 7.2ft and glassy conditions. This is the day to be out there.

After that, it drops back down. Monday the 17th has a bit of onshore wind in the morning, but the afternoon turns clean with a cross-off breeze and a 3.6ft SW swell. A fun, smaller session. Tuesday the 18th is back to marginal, with a funky SSE swell and onshore/cross-on winds. Not much to write home about.

Wednesday the 19th and into the following week, the swell turns a bit jumbled. The energy is there, but the direction shifts to ESE and the period drops to 8 seconds. That's a short-period, windswell-type wave, and it's not going to have the same push or shape. The winds are also mostly cross-onshore, so it won't be clean. It's looking like a bit of a flat, junky spell.

Thursday the 20th, the morning is still cross-onshore, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze and a 3.6ft SSE swell. It's rideable, but nothing special. Friday the 21st is similar, with a cross-shore morning and a glassy afternoon. The swell is a bit bigger at 4.3ft, but it's still a short-period SSE swell.

The following weekend is where we see the next pulse. Saturday the 22nd is small and clean in the morning with a 2.3ft SW swell, but the afternoon sees a 4.6ft SSE swell with a short 7-second period. It's glassy, but the period is short, so it won't have much punch. Sunday the 23rd is a better bet. The morning is glassy with a 5.9ft
