Avellanas Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

The first real window of opportunity here is a bit of a slow burn, but we’ve got some solid chances, especially for the crew who like cleaner conditions. The swell is hanging around the 3 ft mark from the SSW for the first few days, but the wind is the main issue. That cross-onshore breeze is making things messy, so don’t get too excited about Thursday or Friday mornings.

The first real standout comes on the morning of Friday, July 11th. Avellanas Rivermouth is looking at a 3 ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period, and the wind is going glassy. That’s a beautiful combination. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 86°, so it’s a nice comfortable session. The combined wave energy is moderate at 516, but the clean conditions will make it feel punchy. This is a sandbar setup, so it can be a bit inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s on. This is the pick of the first week.

The following Saturday morning, July 12th, also looks promising with similar 3 ft SSW swell and glassy conditions again. The energy is a bit stronger at 594. It’s a solid choice for a clean weekend session.

After that, the wind turns a bit fluky, with some cross-onshore days and a few cleaner windows in the afternoons. The swell drops off a touch, but we get a few slots with offshore winds, like the afternoon of Wednesday, July 16th, with a 2 ft SSW swell and a clean offshore breeze. Not a standout, but a good session if you’re keen.

Then we get a real wildcard. On the morning of Tuesday, July 21st, the swell jumps to 8 ft from the SSW, but it’s a short period of 9 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving in a hurry, and the combined energy is a massive 2040, which is very strong. The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. This is strictly for experts. However, the afternoon of that same day cleans right up with a 6 ft SSW swell, an 8-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is still high at 814, and it’s rated as very good surf. That’s a huge, powerful, clean wave, but still only for strong surfers.

Finally, on Friday, July 24th, we get another clean afternoon with a 4 ft S swell and a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s a good way to wrap up the period.

Overall, the best bet is the glassy morning of July 11th. The big, clean afternoon of July 21st is a serious session for the experienced crew.

Rusty.
