The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, lookin' at the same stretch of coast but in feet, miles per hour, and Fahrenheit. Mariscal is the spot, and it's a bit of a quiet period on the whole.
We’re starting off Monday, August 31st. The swell is tiny, just 3 feet from the ESE with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a weak 95. There’s light rain and a light cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph, so it’s clean, but it’s just "surfable and very ordinary." Water temp is 67°F, about average. Later that afternoon, the wind goes glassy, the swell comes up a little to 4 feet from the SE, but the energy is still weak at 149. Glassy conditions, but still just "very ordinary."
Tuesday, September 1st morning sees the swell drop to 2 feet, but we get a nice offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph. Clean, but no power. Tuesday afternoon is a total loss with a strong onshore wind gusting to 22 mph, blowing out the 2-foot SE swell.
From Wednesday, September 2nd all the way to Monday, September 14th, it's a big dry spell. Days of tiny 1-foot to 2-foot swells and cross or onshore winds. Wednesday, September 9th afternoon does spike up to 8 feet from the east with an 8-second period and 949 combined energy, but it's accompanied by a messy cross-onshore wind and "poor surf conditions." That's a blown-out mess, probably more for kite surfers. That whole stretch has no good surf.
The one real standout is Friday morning, September 11th. Not big, but clean. We've got a 3-foot ENE swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is totally glassy – 0 mph from the WNW. The energy is a moderate 171. It'll be clean as a whistle. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might see a few folks. This is your best bet for a quick, clean session.
Then, look ahead to Tuesday morning, September 15th. That's the one to circle on the calendar. We get a 5-foot swell from the ENE with a 7-second period and combined energy of 315. The wind goes glassy again from the WNW. This one is described as "expect good surf conditions." It's bigger, better for intermediates and above. It's over two weeks away, so it's a promising long-range call.
So, the story is: not much now. The best clean, small-wave window is Friday the 11th. The real standout to keep an eye on is Tuesday the 15th. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Mariscal Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mariscal provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mariscal can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mariscal 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 (Mariscal) 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 Mariscal 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.
