The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, your local surf reporter. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Ristorante, also known as La Toscana. This is a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to SW swell, best for you intermediates out there. Let's be straight up: this is a long, slow 16-day outlook, so don't expect much. The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you can leave the steamer at home.
We start off on August 16th with a proper bust. The afternoon sees a cross-onshore wind and combined energy of 0, so it's flat. Not a ripple to get excited about.
August 17th morning is flat as a pancake with clean conditions, but that doesn’t help when there’s no swell. The afternoon brings a tiny 0.7 ft of WSW windswell at a short 4 seconds, with a combined energy of just 2. It’s cross-onshore and choppy – not worth paddling for.
August 18th morning is our first proper tease. We get 3 ft of SW swell with a 6 second period and a combined energy of 49. It's clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. It’s small, but it's clean. The afternoon turns ugly again with strong onshore wind.
August 19th morning offers glassy conditions, but the swell is practically non-existent at 0.7 ft with a combined energy of 3. It’s a flat, pretty morning but nothing to ride.
August 20th morning has a bit more life: 2 ft of WSW swell at 5 seconds and clean cross-offshore winds, giving a combined energy of 19. It’s still small, but about the cleanest you'll see in this stretch.
From August 21st through August 24th, we have a mix of small, weak swell under onshore or cross-shore breezes, with energy readings never breaking 100. Winds are mostly messy, making for poor conditions.
August 22nd Saturday morning brings a bit of a spike: 5 ft of WSW swell with a 6 second period, and the combined energy jumps to 180. That’s moderate energy, but it's showing with a risk of thunderstorms and a light cross-onshore wind bringing small ripples. It's the biggest of the run but the wind is not your friend.
After that, it's a slow slide into tiny waves and flat spells for the rest of August and into the 31st. The mornings on the 25th, 27th, and 28th have brief windows of glassy or clean offshore conditions, but the swell is so tiny – 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft – that it’s basically flat with combined energy of 8 or lower. You’ll be staring at a mirror.
The last few days from August 29th to the 31st are almost entirely flat. There are no standouts in this period. The best window is the morning of the 18th or the 20th of August, but even then, it's only small and clean, not a day to call in sick for. This stretch is a dud for paddle surfing – you’d have more fun chasing a kite if the wind picks up.
Rusty.
