Marengo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for Marengo over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a big run of SW groundswell on the horizon, so strap in.

We start off Thursday the 10th with a solid pulse of energy. The swell is a clean 10 ft from the SW with a long 16-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off. That’s about as good as it gets for experienced surfers here. The water is sitting at 57°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is a massive 5419, which is strong, and you’ll feel every bit of it. The reef and point set-up at Marengo handles this size well, but this is definitely not for beginners. The morning is the standout.

Friday the 11th keeps the goods coming. The morning is cross-off again with a 8 ft SW swell at 15 seconds. Still clean, still powerful. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross breeze, but it’s still surfable.

Saturday the 12th drops off a touch. The swell is 7 ft, but the wind goes cross-on from the ENE, bringing some bumps. It’s still rideable, but the magic is gone.

Sunday the 13th is a mixed bag. The morning is pretty average with a 4 ft SW swell and a moderate cross-wind. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze and a 4 ft swell, but it’s small.

Monday the 14th is a weird one. The morning has a 5 ft W swell, but it’s only 6 seconds – that’s short period, wind-swell stuff. It’s clean with offshore wind, but it won’t have much shape. The afternoon is a write-off with a tiny 2 ft swell.

Tuesday the 15th sees the size jump back up. The morning is 8 ft from the SW, with a 13-second period and cross-off wind. It’s clean, but the tide might be a factor. The afternoon is 10 ft, same story.

Wednesday the 16th is a beauty. The wind is light cross-off and the swell is a consistent 8 ft at 15 seconds, clean as a whistle. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers all day.

Thursday the 17th is still good. The morning is glassy with a 6 ft SW swell, and the afternoon is offshore at 6 ft. Very clean.

Now, Friday the 18th is the big one. The morning has a 12 ft SW swell with a 13-second period, and the wind is gentle offshore. The combined energy is 6757, which is exceptional. This is expert territory only. The reef and point will handle it, but it will be a serious session.

After that, the swell fades. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are smaller and less clean. Monday the 21st is a write-off with a strong cross-on wind and a 15 ft swell that’s just messy.

Tuesday the 22nd is a return to form – clean, cross-off wind with a 8 ft SW swell. Good for experienced surfers again.

Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th are big, but the wind is cross or cross-on, making it a bit of a washing machine. The heights are 15 ft to 16 ft, but the quality is compromised.

Friday the 25th is the last day of the forecast. A 12 ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, but the wind is light cross-on, so it’s not perfect.

If you’re looking for the best of the best, lock in Thursday the 10th for the morning. The 10 ft SW groundswell, long period, and clean cross-off wind is a true standout. The Friday the 18th morning is a close second, but that’s serious size for experts only.

Rusty.
