Table - best surf conditions forecast for Otter Rock over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got to be straight with you – looking at the next 16 days for Otter Rock, it’s a tough stretch. This is a point break that’s fairly consistent, but the conditions are just not lining up for a good paddle-out. The water is sitting at a very chilly 50°, a full 9° colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be needing a thick hood and gloves.
The first real chance of anything starts Friday morning, July 10th, but it’s a no-go. We’ve got a tiny 3 ft south-west swell, but with a cross-on shore breeze, it’s just choppy and poor. The combined energy is weak (423). That’s the story for the rest of the weekend too. Saturday, July 11th, has a little more size, with a 4 ft swell from the west-northwest, but the wind is still cross-on. It’s marginal at best, but I wouldn’t bother.
The entire first week is a write-off. The wind is stuck in a bad pattern, mostly from the north-northwest, keeping everything cross-on or cross-shore and choppy. The swell energy stays moderate through the middle of the week, peaking around 682 on Saturday afternoon, but it’s all for nothing with the wind.
We get a bit of a tease on Friday, July 17th, when the swell height bumps up to 6 ft, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 921. But the wind is still a cross-on 12 mph, so the surf will be poor. Then on Saturday, July 18th, the swell is 6 ft and the wind is cross-shore at 15 mph, which is just about as unappealing as it gets. Honestly, for a beach-break setup, this is looking more like a kite surfer’s playground than a surfer’s paradise.
The whole 16-day window is a string of poor conditions. There are no standouts, no clean windows. The only slight glimmer is on the 18th, with a 6 ft NW swell and moderate energy (883), but the cross-shore wind makes it a mess. It’s a long, blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy and your wax.
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.
