The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Lookin' at the 16-day window for Moss Landing, and I gotta be straight with you—it's a tough one. This spot is usually very consistent, but right now there's not a single session that's worth paddling out for. The whole period from July 19 right through to August 3 is filled with poor surf conditions. You'll see small swell, mostly cross-onshore winds, and the combined energy never really gets into the moderate range except for a couple of moments—like Sunday morning July 19 with 2ft SW swell and a 17-second period, which is long-period groundswell, but it's cross-on and the conditions are poor. The wind is light, but it's from the wrong direction. The best we get is a marginal window on Wednesday July 29 morning with 5ft WNW swell, 10-second period, combined energy 810 (moderate-strong), but still cross-on, and it's only a marginal surf forecast. That's not enough to get excited about. This break is advanced and very consistent, but when the swell and wind don't line up, it's just a frustrating wait. For now, I'd say keep the board in the car and check back—forecasts can change, but this run looks pretty blank. 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.
