Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Rancho Santini for the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow start, so hang tight.
Right from the jump, the water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 68°F.
Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are total losses. Moderate cross-onshore breeze and choppy slop. Combined swell energy is moderate but the quality is garbage. Don’t even look at it.
We get a little hope from Wednesday morning the 8th. The wind goes light and onshore, swell is small, but the energy is moderate. It’s marginal, maybe a longboard day for beginners. That continues through Thursday and Friday the 10th – light breezes, small 3ft SW swell, periods around 15-16 seconds. That’s a long period groundswell, so better shape but longer waits. Friday morning with the cross-shore wind might be the cleanest of the first week, but still just a marginal call.
Saturday and Sunday the 11th and 12th stay similar but drop back into poor quality. Then we hit a blank stretch from Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th – weak, small swell and mostly poor conditions. Energy drops way down. Nothing to chase.
The one real standout, and the only one I’d mark on the calendar, is Friday the 17th. A pulse of WNW swell around 3ft, but with a short period of just 8-9 seconds – windswell. Wind is cross-onshore in the morning, but by afternoon it goes light cross-on and the energy picks up. It’s still marginal, but it’s the best looking window of the whole forecast.
Then Saturday and Sunday the 18th and 19th bring another long-period SSW groundswell around 2-3ft with periods up to 19 seconds. Light cross-shore winds, moderate energy. That long period will make the waves better shaped, but at a beach break it can get a bit straight. Worth a look if you’re patient.
Monday to Tuesday the 20th and 21st fades back to poor to marginal with light cross-onshore breezes.
So, bottom line: Friday afternoon the 17th for that 3ft windswell with light winds, or Saturday the 18th for the longer period groundswell and cleaner cross-shore winds. Neither is firing, but they’re your best shots. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so expect company. Rusty out.

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.
