The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for Las Monjas over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell to kick things off. From Saturday the 18th of July right through to Friday the 31st of July, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell is mostly coming from the NNE, but the wind is locked in from the N or NNE, howling at 12 to 19 mph and blowing straight across the break. That's turning the ocean into a choppy mess. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it anyway because you won't be surfing.
The combined wave energy builds through the week, hitting moderate levels and even strong and later very strong on the 26th, but it's all for nothing with that wind. The swell gets up to 8 ft on the 26th, but with the cross-onshore breeze, it's just a washing machine. Even the 27th of July, Monday morning, shows some promise with the wind turning light offshore from the NW and a solid 10 ft NNE swell, but the comment says it's predicted to be too big for this spot. That's a real shame – that's expert-only territory and probably a safety issue.
So, the harsh truth is that there are no good surf options for Las Monjas in this 16-day window. The guidance shows this spot is a very consistent little reef break, but it's just not aligning with the wind. Keep an eye on the charts, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and a change in the wind direction could flip the script overnight.
Stay patient,
Rusty

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Las Monjas may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
