The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s break this down. The next day or two we can pretty much write off. Tuesday afternoon is a washout – a 4ft NW swell but a cross-on W wind making a mess of it. Water temp is 70°, about average for this time of year. Wednesday morning is more of the same with rain showers and chop.
But hold on, Wednesday afternoon the wind swings around and goes light offshore from the north. That cleans up that 4ft NNW swell nicely. Thursday is looking even better. A slight breeze in the morning keeps the 4ft waves clean, and by the afternoon it’s a gentle offshore NE wind with 4ft of groundswell. That’s the kind of glass you dream about.
Friday and Saturday are weak. Swell drops to 2ft, surfable but nothing to call home about.
Now, Sunday the 13th is the one. The swell jumps to 5ft and then 5ft from the NW with a long 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell, lots of energy. The wind is offshore or light cross-off, and conditions look excellent. This is the standout of the whole stretch. Los Locos is a consistent break and with this NW swell and long period, it’s going to have some proper lines. It might be a bit fat on the beach, but there’ll be plenty of push.
Monday the 14th is still good, with 4ft and 4ft waves and offshore winds, but it’s a step down from Sunday’s peak.
The mid-week gets messy again. Tuesday and Wednesday are poor, with cross-onshore winds and junky waves, even though Wednesday afternoon pushes 6ft, it’s not clean. Thursday the 17th has some promise with a good 4-5ft NW swell and offshore winds, but it’s not in the same league as the weekend.
The final week sees the swell taper off. There are some nice glassy mornings, but the waves are small. The very last day, Wednesday the 23rd, has a late kick of long-period NW swell around 5ft, but it’s coming with stronger winds, so treat it cautiously. In summary, if you’re looking for the best waves, circle Sunday the 13th on the calendar.
Rusty out.
