The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole sixteen days is a real flat spell, no two ways about it.
We’re looking at La Yerbabuena, and the water is sitting at 69°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. That’s the only thing that stands out, and not in a good way.
The first possible wave shows up Friday the 31st of July morning, but it’s a sad little 2ft from the W, with a period of just 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak 36. It’s glassy which is nice, but there’s no push. That sets the tone for the whole outlook. Saturday and Sunday offer nothing better, with tiny swells and onshore winds ruining what little texture there is. From Monday the 3rd of August right through to Saturday the 9th of August, it’s the same story: swell heights bouncing between 1.0ft and 3ft, but always with cross-onshore winds making it choppy and messy. The best swell we see in that first week is 3ft on the morning of Sunday the 9th, with 84 combined energy, but the onshore wind just chops it up.
Then we hit a serious lull. From Monday the 10th of August all the way through to the end of the outlook on Saturday the 15th of August, the swell just dies. Heights drop to 0.7ft, combined energy falls to single digits. It’s basically a lake out there. The last few days see clean offshore winds, but with almost no swell to work with, there’s simply nothing to ride.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Not one. If you’re a kite surfer, those stronger cross-off winds in the second week might catch your eye, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here, but this is a real blank run.
Rusty.
