The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – I’ve looked over the next 16 days and honestly, there’s not a lot to get excited about. The only spot on the radar is Ristorante, or La Toscana, a reef break that’s fairly consistent but has been dealt a rough hand this period. The water is a toasty 84°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’s gonna feel like you’re paddling in a bath.
The outlook starts on Wednesday, 5 August and it’s a tough one. The swell is tiny, only 0.7ft from the SSW with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 2. It’s clean in the morning with a light E breeze, but it’s so small it’s barely a ripple. The afternoon turns cross-on from the SSW, making it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out.
Thursday, 6 August morning is dead flat with 1ft of S swell, glassy conditions thanks to that calm NNW wind, but there’s just no power. The same goes for Friday, 7 August – the morning is glassy but the swell is completely absent (combined energy of 0). That’s a blank day.
We see a tiny bump on Saturday, 8 August morning. The swell comes up to 2ft from the SW, period is still short at 5 seconds, and the ENE wind is light cross-off, keeping it clean. The combined energy hits 12, but for a reef break, that’s still weak. The afternoon gets messy with onshore SSW wind.
From Sunday, 9 August through to Wednesday, 19 August, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak swells with periods of flat spells. The best you’ll see are mornings with glassy or light offshore winds, such as Monday, 10 August (0.7ft, WNW, glassy) or Wednesday, 12 August (0.7ft, WNW, glassy). But the swell heights are all under 2ft and the combined energy is in the single digits. It’s just not surfable.
Tuesday, 18 August afternoon offers the biggest swell of the whole run, with 3ft from the WSW, a period of 6 seconds, and a combined energy of 80 (moderate). But the wind is onshore from the SSW at 12 mph, making it blown out and messy. The morning is actually cleaner with a light cross-off E breeze, but the swell is only 3ft – still small and weak.
By Thursday, 20 August, the last day in the window, we’re back to 1ft with a cross-on breeze. Nothing to write home about.
To be honest, there isn’t a single standout session in this 16-day outlook. The swell is consistently too small, too short period, and when it does show a little energy, the wind spoils it. This break is a reef, so it needs a decent pulse to come alive, and it’s just not getting it. The water is freakishly warm, but that’s not going to help your wave count. Keep the board in the car and wait for the next forecast – it’s dry out there.
Rusty.
