Navarro Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what the Navarro Rivermouth is cooking up over the next couple of weeks. It’s a river mouth spot that’s fairly open to the north-west, but it doesn’t break all that often, and when it does, you can expect there’ll be a few of you out.

First few days are rough. Choppy, cross-onshore wind and dirty water. Water temp is running about 56°, a bit chillier than what we normally see this time of year. You’ll be glad for the rubber.

The first real chance to score is the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. There’s a 3ft south-west swell, super long period at 19 seconds, and the wind is dead glassy. For a river mouth, that long-period groundswell can sometimes get a bit straight, but with zero wind it should be clean and lined up. Energy is solid (831), and you’ll have plenty of time between sets. It’s a beginner wave at heart, and with the size small and conditions pristine, this is your best early window.

Then we go through a long, average patch. Windy, lumpy, cross-onshore all the way to the 9th of September. That morning has a decent 6ft north-west swell, 12-second period, and strong energy (1074), but it’s still bumpy. The real highlight of the whole run is the afternoon of Wednesday, September 9th. Swell stays up at 6ft from the north-west, period still 12 seconds, energy is very strong (1013), and the wind goes glassy again. That’s a rare combo – powerful, clean waves at the rivermouth. It’s on the bigger side, so best left to surfers with some skill, but the conditions will be mint.

After that, it drops off pretty quick. Some smaller days with cross-shore wind, not much to write home about. For a break that’s inconsistent, this is a case of picking your moment – Thursday the 3rd morning and Wednesday the 9th afternoon are your two golden windows.

Stay salty,
Rusty
