Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf at Leffingwell Landing for the next couple of weeks. This place is a reef break that's very consistent, but the forecast is full of messy weather we gotta get through before anything good shows.
For the first week, it's mostly onshore wind and poor surf. We've got small to medium swell coming through, about 2ft to 4ft from the SSW, but the wind is mostly on it from the west or WNW. Even though the combined energy is moderate (444 to 1222), that onshore breeze just chops everything up. It's not worth your time. A few days in, around July 8th and 9th, a short-period WNW swell pushes up to around 8ft, but with fresh cross-onshore winds, it gets lumpy and ugly. That's for experts only, or honestly, better for kite surfing if you're into that.
The real standout, and the only time I'd get excited, is Friday, July 10th and Saturday, July 11th. The morning of the 10th brings a nice 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the wind goes light and cross-off from the south. The water temp is about average for the season. The afternoon is downright glassy with SSW wind under 3 mph and the same waist-high swell. That's going to be clean, peeling reef waves with no wind bump. The combined energy is moderate (593-708), and with the break being so consistent, you'll get plenty of waves. It'll be busy though—crowds are likely here.
After that, it gets messy again. Later in the second week, around July 13th and 14th, there's another pulse of short-period WNW swell, chest to head high, but the wind is often cross or cross-onshore. July 14th Tuesday morning looks okay with clean conditions and cross-off winds, offering 6ft waves that could be fun for strong surfers. From there, it just tapers off into small, weak lumps through to the 19th, mostly with onshore wind.
Bottom line: circle Friday the 10th if you want the cleanest, best waves. The rest is mostly a toss-up.
