Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and knots for ya. For Otter Rock, the next couple weeks look pretty grim. Nothing good on offer for a while.
Sunday July 5th afternoon has a 6ft NW swell, real short period of 7 seconds, cross-shore wind from the NNW at 16 mph. Combined energy moderate (691), but water temp is 56°F – that’s about 5°F colder than normal, which stings. And it’s called poor surf.
Monday the 6th through Tuesday the 7th keep swell around 4–6ft, but cross-onshore winds, choppy, all poor to marginal. Wednesday the 8th drops to 2ft SW groundswell with a long 18-second period, but wind kills it again.
Best moment is Friday morning July 10th: 2ft SW swell, 15-second period, and finally a light onshore breeze from the WNW at 6 mph. Still only marginal – weak energy (405) – but that’s the cleanest wind window. Everything else from July 11th to 20th is messy: swells up to 6ft but wind never turns truly offshore, just cross or cross-onshore at 9–19 mph, often making it lumpy. A few longer-period swells (16–19 seconds) pop up, like Thursday July 16th morning with 3ft WNW and 19 seconds, energy strong (933), but it’s still cross-shore wind and marginal.
No true standouts. The point break at Otter Rock needs clean conditions, and we ain’t gettin’ ’em. Crowds are often here, but won’t be a problem. This is a long stretch of poor surf – typical for the area when the wind sets in from that direction. Keep hope, forecasts change.
Rusty.

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.
