Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with ya—it’s been a tough stretch, and this outlook is a bit of a drought. We've got a long gap of flat, poor conditions before anything even worth paddling out for shows up.
The water temp is sitting at a pretty average 72.3°F, nothing unusual about that.
Right now, and for the majority of the next ten days, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. Tiny swell, never sniffing 3.3ft. The combined swell energy is weak, often sitting in the single or low double digits (like 27, 25, 14). With the wind mostly onshore, glassy but flat, or just plain tiny, it’s just not on. Even the clean offshore breezes later on from July 10th are wasted on knee-high slop. This is a real rough patch, days and days of it. For the whole first week or so, there's just no real surf to recommend.
Now, if you’re desperate to get wet, you’ll have to wait until Monday, July 13th. That morning we finally see a pulse of swell, running about 3.6ft from the NE. It’s short-period, just 5 seconds, and the combined energy is still only moderate at 79. The wind is glassy, which is a bonus. It's surfable, but it’s very ordinary, and that swell direction is not the optimum NW that this reef at La Derecha del Cartel really wants. It’ll be small and a bit weak, so manage your expectations. It’s the only thing that even registers on the charts, but take it from me—it’s not a standout. It just happens to be the only game in town after a long wait.
After that, it slips back into the dirt. The second week is more of the same: tiny 0.7ft to 1.3ft waves with some glassy or clean conditions, but absolutely no power. The swell remains too small and inconsistent to recommend.
To sum it up: this is a blank run, plain and simple. For this area, when the charts look this empty, it's not entirely abnormal. We just have to sit tight and hope the next system delivers. The outlook is pretty grim for a while.
