Millers Landing Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.

Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim picture for the next 16 days. There’s no real standout, no day where everything lines up. The whole run is a write-off for decent waves. We’re looking at a solid two weeks plus of poor surf conditions, so if you’re itching to paddle out, you might want to find something else to do for a while.

The only spot on the radar is Millers Landing, a beach and point setup. It’s consistent, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a very unusual anomaly, so you’ll be swimming in bathwater, but the waves just aren’t cooperating.

The first few days, starting Sunday the 26th of July, are tiny. We’re talking knee-high swell from the WSW at 2 ft, with a long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is weak (265). The wind is cross-on, so it’s choppy and messy. The guidance says this spot likes swell from the W, but we’re getting WSW, so it’s not even hitting it right. It’s a no-go.

Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are much the same story. Slight bumps up to 2 ft on Monday morning, but the period is still long (18 seconds), and the wind is cross-on. The energy on Monday morning hits moderate (378), but with poor surf quality across the board, it doesn’t matter. Tuesday morning has an onshore wind, but the swell is still just 2 ft.

From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Monday the 10th of August, it’s a slow death. Swell heights drop from 2 ft down to 0.7 ft. The energy falls off a cliff, with values like 75, 68, and even 36. The wind is a constant cross-on or onshore, keeping everything blown out or just plain small. There’s a tiny bump on the 7th of August Friday morning with 1 ft from the SW at a 19-second period, but it’s still poor surf.

With such small, weak swell and onshore winds, Millers Landing is looking more like a kiteboarding spot than a surf break. There’s just nothing here for a paddler.

So, to sum it up: over two weeks of no real surf. The whole 16-day window is a gap. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

Rusty.
