The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.
We're in for a rough patch on the Central Coast. The first few days are a total loss, with poor conditions and nothing to ride. We're looking at a solid four to five days of no surf to speak of. The wind is just ugly, and the swell is too short and messy.
The first real chance of getting wet comes on Monday, August 3rd, but it's a "marginal" call at best. The tide will be a factor, and the conditions are just average. The water is sitting at 57°F, which is a solid 4°F colder than normal for this time of year. That's a real chill, so you'll need your thickest rubber.
The best window, if you can call it that, is the morning of Thursday, August 6th, and into the following week. We've got a long-period groundswell from the SSW, with a period pushing 20 seconds. That means long waits between sets, but the waves will have some serious energy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 210 (210) on the 6th morning, building to a strong 641 (641) by the morning of Saturday, August 8th. The wind is forecast to be light and onshore, but for a reef like Leffingwell Landing, that long-period swell will draw perfectly into the point. The swell direction is SSW, a bit off the optimum WNW, but it should wrap in nicely. It's a dedicated spot, very consistent, and with crowds listed as "sometimes," you might not have the place to yourself. The morning of the 8th looks like the best, cleanest bet, but it's a week and a half out, so don't book the day off work just yet.
After that, the energy stays moderate, but the wind is a gamble. Nothing else in the 16-day window is really calling out. It's a waiting game.
Rusty.
