Milagro del Mar Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Milagro del Mar Point. This is a consistent, advanced point that’s wide open to the south swell, and we’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead.

We start off on Sunday, August 2nd, with small but clean 2ft swell from the SW, a nice 12-second period. The wind is light and cross-off from the east, so the surface is smooth. The water is sitting at 85°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit toastier than normal. The combined energy is moderate at 225.

Now, Monday morning, August 3rd, is the real standout of the first week. The swell picks up to 3ft from the SSW, with a solid 14-second period. The wind is true offshore from the NE at 9 mph, grooming the waves perfectly. Combined energy jumps to 374, and the water is clean. This is the best session on offer early on – glassy, lined up, and that point will be reeling. Expect crowds to be likely, as it’s a reliable spot.

The rest of the week is a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday morning, August 4th, still has clean 2ft waves with a moderate offshore, but the energy drops. By Wednesday, the swell goes short period at 8 seconds, and the quality drops off. Thursday through the weekend sees the swell stick around 2ft to 3ft, but the wind is mostly cross-off and moderate to fresh, which leaves the surface clean but the waves unremarkable. The combined energy fluctuates between 155 and 640, but the conditions are just “ordinary” or “marginal.”

Then we get into the second week, and things start to get interesting, but it’s further out so keep that in mind. On Friday, August 14th, the swell builds to 3ft from the SW, with a very long 19-second period on the morning. The wind is offshore from the NE. The combined energy is strong at 782. This is a serious groundswell pulse. For a point break, those long lines will be perfect, but the long period might make it a bit tricky to get into position if you’re not sharp. Saturday morning, August 15th, holds similar energy at 811 with 4ft swell and offshore winds.

The absolute best of the whole run, though, is Saturday morning, August 15th. That’s the one to circle. 4ft of SW swell, 16-second period, fresh offshore wind, and combined energy of 811. This is a powerful, clean, long-period groundswell hitting a point that loves exactly this direction. It’s a high-end session for advanced surfers only – that 4ft on a point with that energy will be packing a punch. After that, Sunday and Monday see the energy drop back to moderate, with the wind staying offshore but the swell easing.

Overall, there’s a lot of small, clean surf most days, but the real standouts are Monday morning, August 3rd, and Saturday morning, August 15th. Get out there for those.

Rusty.
