The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty, and I’ve been over the charts for a spot that’s got some real potential if you play your cards right. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a solid run of surf coming up, but the real standout is a very promising groundswell that rolls in during the second week. The water here is sitting at a warm 84°F and running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
The spot to be is Quatro-Once (411) — a consistent point that’s exposed to the SSW swell. The action kicks off on Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, with a clean 5ft SW swell rolling in with a 16-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, meaning proper energy and shape, especially on a point. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE, so the face will be smooth. The combined energy is strong (1202), so there’s plenty of push. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, and crowds are possible, so keep your eyes peeled.
Thursday morning, July 30th, stays clean with a 4ft SW swell, offshore from the N, and it’s still a nice 14-second period. Thursday afternoon turns glassy with a light WNW breeze, waves still holding at 5ft from the SW. Friday morning, July 31st, is dead calm and glassy, with a 4ft SW swell and a 13-second period. Some of the best conditions of the week for a quieter paddle.
Things drop off a little from Friday afternoon into the weekend. By Saturday, August 1st, the swell is smaller, around 3ft, and the wind is getting tricky with risk of thunderstorms. The biggest drop comes on Sunday and Monday, with waves slipping under 3ft, though the glassy mornings are still worth a paddle if you’re desperate.
Now, the real standout for the long range is the Saturday morning of August 8th. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and it’s glassy and clean. The combined energy is very strong (1016), and this is excellent for experienced surfers. This is your best bet if you can wait. The following week also holds some promising glassy mornings, especially around August 11th with a 3ft SW swell carrying a 19-second period. That’s a very long period groundswell, so it’ll have plenty of power and be better suited to the point setup than a beach break. The combined energy is strong (961).
Keep in mind, after the first weekend, there’s a brief lull where the swell gets small and a bit ordinary for a few days. But the long-range stuff is definitely worth the wait. Get out there for the glassy mornings, and don’t miss that August 8th session.
