Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Manglecito in feet for you. The water is a balmy 79°, which is a crazy 8° above normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. From Friday, July 10th, right through until the afternoon of Wednesday, July 15th, it’s flat. Tiny 0.3ft waves at best, with energy readings that barely hit double digits. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, so it’s clean, but there’s nothing to surf.
The best we see in the first week is a little pulse on Thursday, July 16th. The swell ticks up to 1ft from the North, with a short 8-second period. The energy is still weak (14), and the wind is a clean cross-off from the South. It’s a flat spell, not a surf session. This beach-and-reef setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
On July 21st, Tuesday, we get a spike – a 0.7ft swell from the West-North-West, but with a very long 19-second period. The combined energy hits 40. At 0.7ft, those long-period lines won’t stand up.
The one day that might get you out of bed is Thursday, July 23rd. For the morning, we have a 1ft swell from the North-West, with a 16-second period. The energy climbs to 43. It’s still tiny, but the long period could give it a bit of a push. The wind is a light cross-off from the South-Southeast, so it’ll be glassy. It’s a reef and point, so that long period could wrap in, but 1ft is for the longboarders. The spot is fairly consistent, but it’s just not happening.
From July 24th to the 25th, it’s back to zero. A blank run like this is a bit of a bummer, but it doesn’t stay flat forever around here, so keep checking back.
Rusty.

Information about the Manglecito Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Manglecito provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Manglecito can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Manglecito surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Manglecito) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Manglecito may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
