Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Moss Landing (Moss Landing) has cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week or so is pretty grim. We’ve got a persistent cross-onshore wind that just won’t quit, and it’s messing up what little swell we’ve got. The waves are small, choppy, and just not worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a solid gap from now, Tuesday the 7th of July, all the way through Sunday the 19th of July where the scores are a big fat zero. That’s nearly two weeks of slop. The swell energy is weak, with readings in the low hundreds, with short-period wind swell that just won’t shape up.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday the 15th of July. It’s still not perfect – the wave comment is "marginal" – but the energy is starting to build. By Thursday the 16th, we see the combined energy climbing into the moderate-to-strong range. Still, the wind is a constant cross-onshore nemesis, so don't expect perfection. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The stand-out window, and I mean the *only* true stand-out, looks to be Saturday the 18th of July. It’s the best we’ve got on offer. The morning shows a 6 ft swell from the WNW with a period pushing into the nice territory at 10 seconds. That combined energy is jumping up to a solid 958 – that’s proper wave energy. The wind is only a light 3 mph cross-onshore, which is close enough to glassy to keep things clean. This is your best chance all fortnight to get a wave that actually has some push and shape. Keep an eye on it, it’s a promising one, but still a little way out so don’t lock your plans in just yet.
After that little pulse, the swell fades fast. By Sunday the 19th, we’re back down to a 4 ft, and by Monday the 20th, it’s tiny stuff with a long 14-16 second period that’ll just roll through without much to offer at a place like this.
Overall, it’s a pretty poor run for Moss Landing. There will be a lot of flat, choppy days and only one, maybe two sessions worth a look. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area, but forecasts can always change.
Rusty.

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