Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what we've got for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first proper surf we can talk about doesn't roll in until Monday morning, July 6th. Before that, it's all tiny, onshore slop and barely a ripple. That's a few days of pretty much nothing to get excited about.
So, Monday the 6th. La Derecha del Cartel will see a little pulse of swell in the morning, about 3 ft from the NE. The combined energy is weak at 43, so it's not going to have any punch. The wind is glassy, which is a good thing, but the comment on it says it's "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". A score of 1 out of 10 says it all. It's a knee-high dribbler. The water temp is around 73°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
Things stay poor for the next week. We get another little blip on Saturday the 11th. The morning looks best with a clean 3 ft from the NE again and a gentle offshore breeze from the SE. Combined energy is still low at 59. Again, it's surfable but very ordinary. That's the theme here.
Then again on Wednesday the 15th, a bit of a bump from the NE at 2 ft, glassy conditions, but combined energy of 54. It's another one of those "surfable but ordinary" days.
The best looking surf on offer appears on Friday the 17th. The morning shows a 4 ft swell from the NE. The combined energy is 77, still weak. The wind is a clean cross-off from the ESE at 9 mph. This is the standout by default. It's a slightly bigger, cleaner wave compared to the rest. It's still not big, so it's fine for all levels. The break is a reef, so with the small size and clean wind, it should offer some nice little lines for a longboard or a funboard. Because it's a reef and it can get crowded, expect some company.
To be brutally honest, there's no real heavy hitters here. The whole 16-day run is just a series of small, weak pulses. The best you'll get is some clean, small waves. If you're a beginner, the small size and infrequent swell might be frustrating. For anyone else, keep your expectations very low. There's no giant groundswell on the horizon. It's just a long, quiet stretch of tiny surf.
Rusty.
