Milagro del Mar Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.

Alright, we are looking at one spot and one spot only for the next 16 days: Milagro del Mar Point. This is a point break and it's an advanced wave, very consistent, and exposed to the South swell. Honestly, the water is sitting at a warm 85°F right now, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

The real standout is going to be Tuesday, July 28th. We’ve got a solid pulse of SW groundswell rolling in with a very long, powerful 18-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1848, and the early morning session sees a clean 12 mph offshore wind from the ENE. The waves are coming in at 6 ft with that deep SW direction. It’s proper, powerful, and clean – pure point break perfection for the experienced crew. The afternoon cleans up even more, going glassy with a light 3 mph breeze from the WSW, and the swell holds at 5 ft. This is the best on offer, no question.

Wednesday, July 29th keeps the quality going. Another morning of clean, offshore conditions with the same ENE breeze at 12 mph and 5 ft of SW swell. The period is still a solid 16 seconds, so plenty of energy (1282). The afternoon goes totally glassy again with a 0 mph wind – a dream session.

The surf starts to settle down from Thursday, July 30th. The swell drops to 4 ft and the period shortens to 14 seconds. The morning is still clean with offshore wind, but the afternoon gets a cross-off shore breeze that makes it a bit average.

By Friday, August 1st, the swell is dropping below 3 ft. The mornings will be surfable with clean offshore winds, but the afternoons get chopped up by cross-off winds. There's a bit of a lull here, with the swell tapering off into the weekend.

We hit a bit of a dry spell from Sunday, August 2nd, through to Tuesday, August 5th. The swell drops to 2 ft or less, and while the mornings have offshore winds, the wave energy is weak (around 156). The afternoons get messy with cross-onshore or cross-off winds. Not a lot to get excited about, but it tends not to stay poor for long.

We start to see a flicker of life again on Friday, August 7th, with a long-period 18-second groundswell starting to push in. The swell is tiny at 1 ft to 2 ft, but the period is long, and it’s clean with offshore winds all day. The energy is building (279-320).

Then, hold onto your hats for the long-range. Monday, August 10th, and Tuesday, August 11th look promising. We’re seeing another long-period groundswell, this time with a 21-second period on the 10th, and 20-second period on the 11th. The swell height is still small (1 ft to 2 ft), but the energy is building back up (347 to 458). The morning winds are offshore and clean. This is a promising, long-range prospect – the kind of setup that could turn a tiny swell into a long, peeling line at a point break. It's a big call so far out, but it has the potential to be a real sneaky highlight.

Wednesday, August 12th finishes the run with a pulse of 3 ft, 18-second swell (energy 574) and clean offshore winds in the morning. The afternoons are blown out by a fresh breeze, so the mornings are the key.

Best Bet: Tuesday, July 28th, and Wednesday, July 29th. The combination of solid 5-6 ft SW groundswell, very long periods, and glassy to clean offshore winds is unbeatable. This is for the advanced crew, but it's as good as it gets.

Stay stoked.

Rusty.
