The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it's lookin' for the coming weeks here in this spot. It's gonna be a real test of patience, that's for sure.
We're looking at a long, dry spell to start. There are days and days where it just ain't worth paddling out. We're talkin' a pretty big gap with no real surf on offer from now, pretty much right through the end of the month. The only flicker of light in this whole 16-day window for a stand-out session lands on Sunday the 26th.
Now, the one and only true standout here is La Santa - The Slab. It's an exposed reef set-up, and it's an expert-only wave, no doubt about it. The water's sitting at 72°F, which is pretty much normal for the time of year. The waiting game finally pays off on the morning of Sunday, the 26th of July. We've got a solid 10ft swell churning in from the NNE. That's big. The wind is a strong cross-offshore breeze, so it'll be clean, but trust me, with that size and on a slabby reef, this is strictly for the pros. The combined energy is strong (1144). It's a bomb, but you'd better know what you're doin'.
Beyond that brief moment, the rest of the forecast is a struggle. The swell sticks around but the conditions just aren't there. A lot of cross-shore winds and lumpy chop ruin the shape, or the swell direction doesn't match what the slab needs to work. There are no other breaks on the cards to save the day. It's a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" or "marginal" calls right through to the 6th of August.
So, keep an eye on that Sunday the 26th if you're an absolute charger. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but this one's lookin' bleak.
