Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the menu at Rancho Santini for the next couple of weeks. Straight up – it’s a flat spell. The water is sitting at 68°, pretty much average for this time of year, and the anomaly’s only 1°, so nothing weird going on. But the waves? Not much to get excited about.
We’ve got a consistent beginner-friendly break that usually picks up west swell, but the wind just won’t cooperate. From Sunday July 5 right through to the end of the second week, it’s mostly cross-on or onshore, and often a moderate breeze – choppy, messy, with those long‑period SW swells making it even harder for a beach setup like this. The combined swell energy bounces between 250 and 850 (moderate to moderate‑strong), but the quality is poor. There are a couple of afternoons, like Thursday July 9 and Friday July 10, where the wind drops to a light breeze and the sea gets a bit less lumpy – cross‑shore or light cross‑onshore – with swell around 3 ft and 15–16 s period. That’s about as close to “rideable” as it gets, but it’s still barely marginal.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in the entire 16‑day window. The break is consistent, so it’s not like the area goes dead for long – forecasts can change – but right now you’re better off waiting for a better window. The waves are too small and too wind‑affected to bother.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts.
– Rusty

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