The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming down the coast.
Alright, straight up, this is a tough stretch for Ristorante. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we're in a major dry spell. The vast majority of days are delivering tiny, weak, short-period slop, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. There’s a gap of nothing but poor conditions for almost a full week right at the start. We don’t really see anything worth paddling out for until we get into the following week.
The first real pulse of manageable energy shows up on the morning of Monday the 18th of August. We’ll see a bump to about 4 ft of swell from the WSW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 139, but the wind is a cross-onshore and there's a risk of thunderstorms in the morning. It’s not clean, but it's the first sign of life. The afternoon drops off a bit.
After that, it’s back to the small stuff until we get to the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. The swell picks up to 2 ft from the WSW, period still a short 5 seconds, but we have light cross-offshore winds from the ESE keeping the surface clean. The energy is low at 28, but it’s rideable and clean. Not a standout by any means, but the best window of the entire run comes on the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. We’ve got a consistent 3 ft of swell from the SW with a 5-second period, and combined moderate energy at 34. The wind is a light cross-shore from the SE, so it’s only a little bumpy. For this stretch, that’s your best bet.
Later in the week, the morning of Thursday the 27th of August sees a pulse of 3 ft from the SW with a 6-second period and moderate energy of 70, but the wind is onshore, so it won't be pretty.
Given the persistent onshore slop and tiny waves, a lot of this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. This is just one of those blank runs that happens here. The water temp is a very unusual 4° warmer than average for this time of year, if you can believe it.
Rusty, signing off.
