Rocky Point 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.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – it's gonna be a quiet stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple. The first real chance of anything surfable isn't until late in the first week, and even then, it's not going to set the world on fire.

Forget about this first weekend. Friday the 4th through Sunday the 6th are a write-off. We've got a cross/on-shore breeze and messy, weak lines. Nothing doing.

Monday morning the 7th is where we finally see a tiny glimmer. The wind swings offshore from the SSE at 6 mph, cleaning things right up. We're looking at a weak little 3 ft ENE swell, but the energy is pitiful (139). It's surfable, but only just. The kind of day you go for a paddle, not a performance.

After that, it drops off into nothing for the bulk of the second week. Tiny, ankle-snapping waves and very ordinary conditions are the name of the game from the 8th through the 12th.

Now, if you're desperate for a glassy window, Monday the 14th offers a brief moment of hope. Both the morning and afternoon sessions have glassy conditions with next to no wind, and that little 2 ft ESE swell is just about enough for a longboard. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 79°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed.

Tuesday afternoon the 15th is a similar story – clean, offshore wind from the south at 6 mph, but again, it's just a tiny 2 ft wave with very little punch. It's better than nothing, but don't expect any barrels.

The Saturday the 19th afternoon sees a weird little spike of long-period groundswell – 15 seconds from the ESE – but it's only 0.7 ft. That kind of period at a reef and point break like Rocky Point can sometimes wrap in and produce a freak wave, but with combined energy of just 33, it's a lottery win, not a surf forecast.

The only real standout, and I use the term loosely, is Monday the 14th. For two whole sessions, the wind is completely glassed out and the waves, while tiny, will be clean and user-friendly. It's your best bet for a fun, soulful session on a log.

Other than that, it's a long, flat stretch. Conditions for kite surfing would be more interesting on those windy, cross-shore days in the first week, but for a paddle surfer, it's a quiet period.

Stay patient, the forecasts can change.

Rusty.
