The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the 16-day forecast for our local zone.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. For the next couple of weeks, it's looking pretty grim. This is one of those long, quiet stretches where the ocean just seems to hit the snooze button. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Thursday, August 28th, and even that's pretty ordinary. So we're looking at over a week of flat, messy, or just plain poor conditions.
The standout, and I mean the *only* real standout, is shaping up for Thursday, September 3rd. Ristorante (or La Toscana) is a reef break, fairly consistent, and it's exposed to the SW swell. The water is sitting at a toasty 83°F with a 5°F anomaly, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. On the morning of the 3rd, we've got a clean, 5ft swell rolling in from the WSW with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, which is exactly what you want for a clean face. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits a solid 222, which is moderate to strong energy. It's not massive, but it's the best we'll see. It's a bit of a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it's the only session worth circling on the calendar. That swell is a bit on the fuller side, but still manageable for most intermediates.
Other than that, we have a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny. On Sunday, August 23rd, and Monday, August 24th, the swell is down to 1.0ft and 0.7ft respectively, with next to no energy at all. Friday, August 28th, and Saturday, August 29th, also have some clean morning windows, but the swell is small and the energy is weak (158 and 152). It's surfable, but just barely.
So, to sum it up: we've got a long, quiet spell to endure. The only real highlight is the morning of September 3rd at Ristorante. Everything else is either tiny, messy, or both. The forecast can always change, so don't lose hope, but for now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
