The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here with the lowdown.
It’s a rough one for Latigo Canyon. Looking ahead over these 16 days, the quality is skinny. The water is feeling unusually warm, sitting at 73°F, which is a huge 9°F hotter than the norm for this time of year. That’s a strange vibe.
We kick off flat. The first days of the run, from Friday the 11th into mid-September, show a little bump of SW swell, maybe 2 to 3ft, but the wind is cross-onshore. The wave energy is weak, barely hitting the low hundreds, so it’s choppy, weak, and a total waste of time. It’s just a poor run to start.
Honestly, it's a long, dry spell. The forecast is full of "poor surf conditions" and "marginal" labels. For this spot, that’s just how it goes sometimes—we get stretches where the charts go quiet.
But I do see one note of interest way out there. On the morning of Monday the 21st of September, we’ve got a 3ft groundswell from the SW with a period of 17 seconds. That long period is the key for a point break like this. The wind is a light cross-onshore breeze, so it won't be glassy, but it's clean enough. The combined energy pushes up to 402, the highest we see. The afternoon has a bit more power at 495, but the wind turns cross-shore. The morning of the 21st is the standout, but it’s far out, and these long-range calls are a bit of a gamble. After that, it's back to small, weak signals through the rest of the window.
So, a long quiet period with one distant hope on the horizon. Keep your expectations low, but don't write it off just yet.
Rusty.
