Latigo Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. The next couple of weeks here are gonna be a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a slow start, a little tease of some clean conditions, and then a bit of a struggle.

First up, Latigo Point. This spot doesn’t break often, so when it does, you gotta pay attention. Right now, the water is sitting at a balmy 67°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a pretty big deal and feels like a tropical treat.

The first real chance to paddle out hits on Monday, July 6th, in the afternoon. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW, but it’s got some serious legs with a 20-second period. That’s a groundswell, folks. The wind will be a cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surface clean. The energy is moderate, sitting at about 422. Don’t expect much size, but the shape could be there for a patient surfer.

Tuesday, July 7th, things pick up a notch. The morning shows 3ft from the SSW with an 18-second period. The wind is a light cross-on, so there will be a little texture on the surface. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore wind again and 3ft swell. The energy stays moderate at 531 and 478. It’s surfable, but it’s still marginal. Don’t get too excited.

Wednesday, July 8th is more of the same. Both morning and afternoon offer 3ft and 3ft from the SSW, with 16-second periods. The morning has that light cross-on breeze, while the afternoon turns clean with the cross-off. Energy is moderate at 512 and 432. Still just scraping by.

Thursday, July 9th and Friday, July 10th are write-offs. Onshore winds and poor conditions. Save your energy.

Now, here’s the one standout. Sunday, July 12th. The morning is absolute glass. Wind is dead calm, just a slight air. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. The energy is moderate at 324. For a point break that rarely breaks, this is the window. The conditions will be super clean. It’s the best on offer. Get on it.

After that, it’s a slow decline. Monday, July 13th through to Saturday, July 18th are mostly poor or marginal. The swell drops to 2ft and then 1ft. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-on or onshore. The energy drops to weak levels, below 250.

There’s a little spike on Saturday, July 18th afternoon and Sunday, July 19th morning, with a bigger 3ft to 3ft swell from the SSE, and energy jumping to a strong 671 and 596. But the direction isn’t ideal for Latigo, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. You’d be better off with a kiteboard than a surfboard on those days.

The final week, from July 20th onwards, fizzles out. Tiny swell, weak energy, and mostly onshore crud. It’s not looking good.

So, to sum it up: the only real window for a proper, clean session is Sunday morning, July 12th. The rest is either small, onshore, or just messy. For a spot that rarely works, that Sunday morning is a gift.

Rusty.
