No Pass Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next 16 days for No Pass.

First off, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are a mess – choppy, cross-onshore winds with a poor quality swell. The wave energy is moderate (593 to 819), but it’s just not coming together at all. Monday the 10th is still not great, but by the afternoon, the wind drops to a light breeze and the conditions become a little more workable, though the surf is still marginal.

The real glimmer comes on Wednesday the 12th. That afternoon, the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 6ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The wave energy is pumping at 712, and conditions are looking very good. That’s the standout session of the first week.

Thursday the 13th afternoon is also glassy, with a 5ft NW swell, but the energy is a bit lower at 519. Still, clean waves are on offer.

After that, the swell backs off a bit, but we get some longer period SSW groundswell. Saturday the 15th afternoon is another glassy winner with a 3ft SSW swell and a 16-second period. This is a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have good shape and energy, but it might be a bit too straight for a beach break – though No Pass is a reef, so it should handle it well. The energy is moderate (578).

Looking further out, Wednesday the 19th afternoon is another real standout. The wind goes glassy again, and we’ve got a 5ft WNW swell with an 11-second period, and the energy is solid at 795. That’s a prime session for anyone who can paddle out. A bit more than a week away, so keep an eye on it, but it’s promising.

Overall, the best bets are Wednesday the 12th afternoon, Saturday the 15th afternoon, and Wednesday the 19th afternoon. The rest of the time, it’s mostly marginal or poor, with the last few days of the run looking choppy and unappealing. Don’t bother with the first weekend.

Rusty.
