The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what the next couple of weeks is shaping up like.

First off, it’s a slow burner. We got a touch of swell but the conditions ain’t playing ball. For the first couple of days, it’s on the small side with messy cross-shore winds making it tough to get a good ride. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are looking ho-hum, with waves around 2ft to 2ft but they’re not gonna have any shape to them.

Water temp is a crazy 73°, which is a whole 9° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s weird. You’ll probably be fine with just a spring suit.

The real magic happens starting Sunday morning, the 6th of September. That’s the standout. We’re looking at a solid 5ft to 6ft south swell running on a 14-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy with a combined energy of 948 to 1160 (moderate to strong). The wind is the real story. It goes glassy early. I’m talking barely a breeze, offshore-ish. It’ll be clean as a whistle. That’s the best session on the whole board.

You want to be at Latigo Canyon. That southwest swell direction on that exposed point will handle it perfectly. It’s not huge, but it’s got the guts and the clean face to make for some long, fun walls.

Then Monday the 7th morning, the swell hits its peak at 7ft from the south with that same 14-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is huge, hitting 1817 (very strong), so this is for the experts only. It’s got plenty of grunt.

After that, it drops out. By the 8th the swell is still 5ft to 6ft but the wind turns a bit cross-off in the afternoon. Still rideable, but not as good as those glassy mornings. The second week gets tiny and inconsistent. We’re talking 1ft to 2ft waves with onshore breezes – it’s just not worth paddling out. Combined with weak energy readings, you’re looking at a dry run for the back half of the outlook.

Bottom line: the first few days are a wash. The real score is Sunday, 6th September, and Monday morning, 7th September, at Latigo Canyon. Don’t miss it.

Rusty.

Information about the Latigo Canyon Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Latigo Canyon provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Latigo Canyon can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Latigo Canyon surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Latigo Canyon) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Latigo Canyon 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
