Howdy, Rusty here. I’ve looked over the Manglecito forecast for the next couple weeks, and to be straight with you, it’s a lean run. The swell machine just ain’t firing. Right off the bat, from Saturday the 4th through Tuesday the 8th of July, there’s zilch—zero surf on offer. Clean skies and glassy water, but no waves. That’s a five-day drought.
Come Wednesday the 9th of July morning, we get a tiny bump—0.2m from the north, 8-second period, with a cross-off breeze. Energy is a pathetic 6, so it’s just ripples. This same weak NW pulse, barely 0.2m to 0.3m, dribbles through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Periods hit 14 seconds on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, but with heights that small, that long period doesn’t do a thing for the reef and point.
The best shot—and I use that term loosely—comes on Sunday the 19th of July. Both morning and afternoon show 0.3m from the north, 8-second period, and cross-off winds from the SSE at 15 km/h. Energy is still weak at 12 and 11, but it’s the most swell all fortnight. The water is sitting at 26°C, a huge 4° warmer than usual, so it feels like a hot tub. Crowds are possible here, so expect a few heads. The break likes north swell, so direction is fine, but these are tiny waves—more of a splash than a session. For a dedicated surfer, it’s something to wet the board on, but don’t get your hopes up.
The rest is flat or near-flat. Nothing else worth paddling out for.
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.
