Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break it down. Over the next 16 days at Rancho Santini, the surf is looking like a long, slow grind. The first week is a bust, with poor conditions and cross-onshore winds messing up everything.
The first real chance to paddle out comes Wednesday, July 8th. Swell is 4ft from the SW, with a 16-second period. That’s a groundswell, meaning better waves, but it’s a bit much for the beginners this break usually sees. The wind is onshore from the W at 9 mph, so it’s not glassy. The wave energy is moderate at 859. It’s only a marginal call, so temper your expectations.
The wind finally turns more favorable by Sunday, July 12th. An offshore breeze from the W at 6 mph will clean things up, but the swell drops to 3ft. It’s a clean, small day for a longboard if you are really itching.
The only real standout, and it’s a long way off, is Saturday, July 11th. The swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW, with a long 15-second period. The breeze is a light cross-onshore. The wave energy is moderate at 515. It’s still only a marginal grade, but the longer period is a good sign for a point break like this. It’s the best you're going to get.
Honestly, this is a tough outlook. For a beginner spot, the swell is either too small or the wind is too messy for most of the period. The first week is a washout. If you are a beginner, the 11th is your best bet for a few long, slow rides, but you’ll be working for them. The water is around 67°, which is normal for this time of year. The more experienced crew won’t find enough power here.
Keep your eyes on it. It usually doesn't stay this quiet for this long.
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.
