Table - best surf conditions forecast for Leffingwell Landing over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Leffingwell Landing.
First up, the water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. The coming week is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell pulsing through, but the wind is gonna be the main character, and not in a good way. For the first few days, a cross-onshore wind is going to mess things up, making for choppy, lumpy conditions. The wave energy is pretty high (between 1021 and 1173), but it’s all short-period windswell, so it’s gonna be a bumpy, unappealing ride. Honestly, it looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing right now.
Then we get a bit of a reprieve late on Friday the 10th and into the weekend. The wind swings offshore, and while the swell drops off, it cleans up. The standouts are actually the morning of Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th. The swell is small, around 3ft, but it’s a long-period 14-13 second SSW groundswell wrapping in. The wave energy is moderate (around 503-513), and with light offshore winds, the conditions will be glassy and clean. It’s a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it can be inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient, but when it comes, it’ll be quality.
Looking further out, the real standout is the morning of Saturday the 18th. That’s your best bet of the whole forecast. We’re looking at 3ft of swell from the SW, with a long period of 18 seconds and glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (776), and it’s going to be clean and lined up. This is a classic reef break setup for a dry, longboard morning. Just keep in mind that this is a long-range call, so it’s promising but less certain than the near-term stuff. The rest of the second week is small and marginal.
Rusty.
