The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the Eureka stretch has got cookin’ for us over the next couple weeks. I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a bit of a mixed bag, and there are some long quiet spells in between.

For starters, the water temp is sittin’ right around 58°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick things off with North Jetty at Eureka (a beach/jetty setup). The first few days are pretty meh. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are lookin’ at small SW swell, around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. The combined energy is moderate, between 720 and 896, but the texture is choppy and the conditions are just not cooperating. It’s a “marginal” call if you’re desperate, but nothin’ to get excited about.

Saturday the 12th is a little better – same small 3ft SW swell, but the wind goes light, and by the afternoon it’s almost glassy. The energy drops to 623, so it’s not powerful, but it’s clean and you might snag a few little peelers. That’s about the best of this first week. Then from Sunday the 13th through Tuesday the 15th, it gets messy. The swell bumps up a bit (up to 7ft NW on Monday), but the wind is a stiff 12-13 mph cross-onshore, making for choppy, blown-out junk. Not worth your time.

Wednesday the 16th afternoon is a little gem – the swell drops right down to 2ft SW, but the wind goes *glassy* and the conditions are listed as “good surf conditions.” It’s tiny, but if you’ve got a log and you want a clean knee-high dribbler, that’s your window.

Then Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th, we’re back to small, weak SW swell (1ft to 3ft), but the wind is either cross or cross-on, and there’s just no energy to speak of. A proper flat spell.

Now, hold on to your board – we get a pulse of bigger swell around Sunday the 20th. The NNW swell builds to 7ft in the morning, 8ft in the afternoon. Combined energy jumps to 819 and then 1021 – that’s strong. But it’s short period, only 7-8 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. This is heavy, steep, and not super clean. Monday the 21st keeps the 7ft to 8ft NNW swell, energy up to 1325, but it’s still cross-onshore. Tuesday the 22nd pushes it to 10ft – that’s expert territory, and the period is still only 9 seconds, so it’s gonna be a heaving, lumpy beast. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or for beginners.

The highlight in this run? Honestly, it’s the window on Wednesday the 16th afternoon for a small, glassy clean-up session, or if you’re an experienced charger, Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd have serious size and power, but you’ll be sharing it with some messy wind texture. Keep your eyes peeled for a cleaner spell – forecasts can change.

Stay tuned and stay stoked.
