Table - best surf conditions forecast for Otter Rock over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – the outlook for Otter Rock is a tough one. We’ve got swell on the charts, but a persistent cross-onshore wind is going to ruin most of it. It’s gonna be choppy and messy for the majority of the next two weeks.
And the water? It's a rude shock. It’s running at 50°F, which is a massive 9°F colder than average for July. You’ll need a thick suit, that’s for sure.
Your best bet, and I mean the only window that’s even slightly interesting, is Saturday the 11th of July. The swell builds to about 4ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and moderate combined energy of 509. The wind is cross-onshore, so it won't be glassy, but by the afternoon the swell pushes to 5ft with energy up to 682. The model says it's marginal, and with that period under 11 seconds, it's a bit weak, but it's the most likely chance for a few rideable, if not perfect, waves.
Looking further out to the 22nd of July, the swell gets a bit more size, hitting 7ft from the NW and a combined energy of 943. But again, it’s hampered by a cross-onshore wind of 16 mph and a short 8-second period. That’s going to be a lumpy, wind-blown affair, not the clean lines this point needs. For a spot like Otter Rock, you’d want a longer period groundswell from the west, but we’re not getting that with the right wind.
Most of this period is a write-off for stand-up surfing. When you’ve got that much swell and that much wind at a beach-and-reef setup, it’s really only going to appeal to the kite surfers. Don’t get your hopes too high.

Information about the Otter Rock Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Otter Rock provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Otter Rock can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Otter Rock 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 (Otter Rock) 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 Otter Rock 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.
