The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and degrees.
Honestly, it’s a tough start. We’ve got a big dry spell ahead of us. From right now through the end of July and well into the first week of August, the surf is tiny and the wind is just not cooperating. Days and days of small, weak swell with cross-onshore winds tearing it up. It’s a flat period, no two ways about it.
Things finally start to shuffle around the 6th of August. That Thursday we see a pulse of energy, with the combined swell energy hitting 143 in the morning and 164 in the afternoon. The swell is from the NNE, running about 3ft with a 9-second period. That’s something, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 18 mph, so it’s gonna be lumpy. Not pretty, but at least you’ll be able to get wet.
The best bet, and this is a long-range tip so don’t bet the farm on it, is Tuesday the 11th of August. That morning we see the biggest swell of the whole outlook – around 4ft from the NE with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 293, which is a solid moderate energy. The issue remains the wind: a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph, so bumpy conditions are a given. Bajo el Medio (Rocky-Point) is a sheltered reef that really wants a NW swell to be perfect, and with NE wind and swell, it’s not going to be pristine. This spot is inconsistent anyway, so when it shows size like this, it’s notable, but you’ll be dealing with chop.
For the one standout, I’d point to that Tuesday, the 11th of August. The swell is real, the energy is there, but don’t expect a mirror finish. Intermediates should be alright, but that 4ft with lumpy winds is going to be a handful for beginners. Water temp at the start sits around 72°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
So yeah, a long stretch of nothing, then a slow build into some average, workable waves with onshore winds. Keep the hopes tempered.
Rusty.
