Milagro del Mar Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk waves.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a slow burn at Milagro del Mar Point. Friday the 3rd is flat and pretty much a write-off, so you can sleep in. The real action picks up from Saturday the 4th and keeps rolling into the first half of the following week, with the standout stuff looking like it peaks around the 7th and 8th.

The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at 85°, which is always a nice treat down here.

The Pick of the Week: Saturday the 4th is where you want to be. Saturday morning is looking clean with a solid offshore wind from the NE at 16 mph, grooming a 3ft SW groundswell into shape. The combined energy is already building at 523 (moderate energy), and it’s very consistent here, so you won’t be waiting long. But the real magic is Saturday afternoon. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and you’ve got a 3ft SW groundswell pushing through at a long 16-second period. This is as clean as it gets for a point break like this. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot from the SW, so expect some long, peeling lines.

Sunday the 5th keeps the fun going with a moderate offshore breeze in the morning and a bit more energy in the water (630). The afternoon gets a bit messy with a risk of storms and a light cross-shore, so get it early.

The Next Push: Tuesday the 7th is a big one for the experienced crew. We see the swell jump to 5ft from the SW, with a massive combined energy reading of 1539 (strong wave energy). The period is a solid 18 seconds, meaning groundswell with real power. Tuesday morning has a clean offshore wind, making it excellent for advanced surfers. Wednesday the 8th holds similar size (5ft) and a bit more wind on it, but still offering excellent conditions for the more experienced guys.

After Wednesday, things start to taper off. The swells drop back under 3ft through the second week, with the wind staying mostly cross-off from the ENE. The energy levels drop from strong (917-1277) down to moderate (376-520) and then weak (185-208) by the 18th. There’s a lot of "marginal" and "poor" flags in the back half, but you’ll still find small, clean waves on the morning sessions when the offshore wind is blowing – just don't expect much push.

The Wrap: Milagro del Mar Point is a very consistent spot, so even when the charts look bleak, it’s more likely a short lull than a long drought. Get on it this weekend and early next week for the best of it.
