Marina Romea Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, long look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Marina Romea. I gotta be straight with you—this is going to be a tough stretch. There’s no surf at all to start, and it’s going to stay that way for a good while.

We’re kicking off with a big ol’ gap of nothing. From Wednesday the 8th of July right through to the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is basically flat—a big fat zero or single-digit numbers for weeks. It’s going to be a real test of patience.

Now, the one and only window of hope shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. The wind will be light and cross-offshore from the northwest, which will keep the surface clean at this river mouth break. We’ll see a small pulse of swell from the east at about 3ft. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and on the weaker side. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 61. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82°, much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a fun fact, but it doesn’t make the waves any better.

For the rest of that week and into the next, it’s back to tiny or zero surf, with onshore winds and poor conditions. The only other little blip is on Sunday the 19th of July morning, with a glassy, clean surface and a tiny 1ft swell from the east-northeast at 6 seconds, but the energy is still weak at 10. It’s barely a ripple.

So here’s the bottom line: if you are absolutely dying to get wet, the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July is your one best shot. It’s a small, short-period swell with clean conditions. For beginners, that 3ft is manageable, but don’t expect anything special. For everyone else, it’s going to be a waiting game. With such an inconsistent setup, this blank run isn’t a huge surprise for the area.

Stay patient, mates.

Rusty.
