Navarro Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pike for your local sandbar.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking lean and mean here at Navarro Rivermouth. We’ve got a long, drawn-out run of poor conditions stretching from Wednesday, August 26th, all the way through to the end of the first week of September. The wind is almost always blowing cross-on or cross-shore, messing up any chance of a clean face. The swell is small and choppy, with a weak energy reading of just 301 in the combined energy department on the Wednesday morning.

We finally see a brief flicker of hope on Friday, September 4th. The morning shows some potential with a clean 8ft NW swell arriving, and the wind is light and onshore. The combined swell energy jumps to a strong 1069, and the period is a solid 10 seconds, meaning there’s some real power behind it. The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s not a guaranteed clean session, but it’s the best we’ve got. It's still too big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the one to have on your radar. The afternoon holds similar size at 7ft, with light cross-on wind and high energy at 904.

After that, it fades back into mediocrity. There’s a bit of size again on Thursday, September 10th, but with a 2ft SW windswell of very long period (24 seconds) and moderate cross-onshore wind, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer at a rivermouth like this. The rest of the run is mostly small, choppy, and poor.

So, to sum it up: if you absolutely have to get wet, keep your eyes peeled for Friday, September 4th. The morning looks like the most promising moment for a solid, powerful wave, even if the conditions aren't perfect. Everything else is a write-off.

Rusty.
