Table - best surf conditions forecast for Latigo Canyon over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re in a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. The first real recommendation doesn’t pop up until Friday, the 28th of August. Before that, from Monday through to Thursday, it’s a whole lot of small, weak, and onshore slop – not worth getting the wetsuit on for. The waves are small, the energy is low, and the wind is just not playing ball.
The Standout Window
The pick of the entire forecast is Friday morning, 28th of August. Latigo Canyon is looking clean and promising. We’ve got a 2ft SSW swell rolling in with a very long period of 19 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, lots of energy in the water (combined energy of 469). The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is about as good as it gets for conditions. The swell direction (SSW) is nicely aligned with the break's optimum (SW), so expect some lined-up sets. This is a point break, so that long period should wrap in nicely. It’s a quality window for an intermediate surfer.
The Rest of the Time
After that Friday morning high, things get a bit mixed. Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday all have some rideable swell, with heights around 3ft, but the wind is constantly cross-on or cross-off, and the energy is moderate. Monday the 31st looks poor again.
Your next best bet after that first Friday is Tuesday morning, 1st of September. Another glassy morning with a 3ft S swell. The combined energy is moderate (366), and the period is a shorter 13 seconds, so it won’t have the same punch as the Friday session, but with glassy conditions, it’s still a solid session for a point break.
The second week of September (from the 3rd onwards) sees a slight bump in size, with swell heights around 3ft to 4ft and combined energy readings climbing into the strong range (569 to 661). However, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, making for messy conditions. The long period swells (17-19 seconds) return, but the wind keeps them from being clean. For a point break, a long period, onshore wind is a real shame. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no major surprises there.
The Verdict
Get on it for that Friday morning, 28th of August. That’s the one. The rest of the forecast is a waiting game with some ok, but not great, options. Don’t expect much from the first few days. Be patient.
Rusty.
