Rebounds Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Rebounds, a reef set-up. We’ve got a slow start, but a couple of windows are shaping up for the more experienced crew. The water temp here is sitting at 52°, which is pretty much normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout is the morning of Saturday the 15th. We’re looking at a clean 7ft swell from the south, with a very long 16-second period, pushing a strong 2413 combined energy. The wind is light offshore from the NNW, which is going to keep those waves glassy. This is excellent surf, but with that size and a long period, it’s going to be a powerful wave that’s best left for the experts. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so you might get a few on it, but the quality is worth it.

After that, the surf drops off significantly. The next few days are smaller, with a little S swell around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind stays mostly clean or offshore. The real gem might be Monday morning the 17th: a 3ft SSW swell, with a very long 18-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is a moderate 662. It won’t be big, but the shape should be the best of that small run.

There’s a big gap through the middle of the week, with a few small, clean days but nothing worth rushing out for. Then on the 22nd, the swell starts to build again, but it’s messy with strong cross-shore winds. That Sunday morning the 23rd brings a massive 10ft SSW swell from a 17-second period, with a huge 5131 energy reading. But the wind is a strong cross-shore, and the wave is predicted to be too big for the break. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s going to be a beast.

The real kicker comes later. The 27th and 28th see a huge SSE swell, 15ft to 16ft, but the period drops to 9-12 seconds, giving it a different, more chaotic feel. The energy is massive, over 5000 and even 9965 on the 28th afternoon. The wind is light, but the size is just too big for this spot. It’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s.

The final standout is Saturday morning the 29th. The swell drops back to 7ft from the south, with a very long 18-second period and a strong 2702 energy. The wind is light offshore from the north, making it clean. It’s excellent for experienced surfers. The conditions are looking promising, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on that forecast.

Rusty.
