The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for your local stretch. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but a couple of days are shaping up to be real rippers if you’ve got the patience.
Right now, the surf is tiny. We’re looking at the first week of the outlook being mostly flat, with small, weak NW windswell in the 0.7ft to 2ft range. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. You’ll be waiting a good few days for anything with a pulse.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Friday, July 18th. The morning kicks off with a glassy 4ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a bit of a messy, weak wave. The combined energy is moderate (128). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The pattern starts to build into Saturday, July 19th. The morning is still a bit small and wonky, but the afternoon sees a jump to 5ft from the NE. It’s clean with a gentle offshore ESE wind, and the energy is getting stronger (182). The waves are still a bit ordinary, but you can feel the potential building.
Now, the real standout is going to be Saturday, July 26th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon session is looking special. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds and a very strong combined energy of (511). That’s a serious amount of water moving around. The wind is a light offshore from the ESE, keeping it clean. At La Derecha del Cartel, this is going to be pumping. The waves will be grunty and powerful, so this is for the experienced crew. Beginners should sit this one out.
Sunday, July 27th carries the momentum. The morning hangs in with a clean 4ft NE swell (269 energy), and the afternoon holds at 5ft with a moderate offshore breeze (260 energy). It’s good, solid, consistent surf.
After that, the swell drops off a cliff. The last few days of the outlook turn tiny again, with weak WNW swell and super long periods (10-12 seconds) that are just too small to do anything with. The energy drops into the teens. It’s a flat finish.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the Saturday, July 26th afternoon at La Derecha del Cartel. That’s your best bet for a proper session. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
