Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and honestly, the surf is looking pretty flat for the most part. The first solid week or so is a real write-off. From Saturday the 4th all the way through to the 9th of July, there’s just nothing doing. Tiny, weak swells and mostly cross-off winds that aren’t doing us any favours. It’s a real bummer.
The water temp at La Yerbabuena is sitting at about 72.1°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock.
We finally see a little pulse of energy trying to push in around Friday the 10th of July. Morning brings a 3 ft swell from the west, with a short 6-second period, but it’s blown out by onshore wind from the southwest. The combined energy is weak, just 60. It’s not going to be pretty. That little bump fades quick, and we go back to tiny, messy waves for the rest of that weekend and into the next week.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a dud. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, no morning glass-off that’s going to save the day. It’s just poor surf conditions, one after the other. For an inconsistent spot like La Yerbabuena, this kind of flat run isn’t entirely out of the ordinary, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change.
