The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a solid stretch of tiny, weak swell and a persistent cross-onshore wind that’s just going to mess things up. The first real glimmer of something rideable is a long way off, so don’t get your hopes up for any quick fix.
From Friday, July 24th right through the end of the month, it’s a no-go. The swell is just too small, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is a fresh, lumpy cross-onshore from the NNE. The water temp is sitting at a pretty average 72°F for this time of year, so that’s not the issue. The problem is the lack of any real energy – the combined energy readings are mostly in the low two digits, barely cracking 100 at times, so it’s truly weak out there.
We roll into August, and the story doesn’t really change. The first week of August is a total write-off. The swell stays tiny, never getting above 2 ft, and that wind just won’t let up. It’s a long, flat, choppy slog. There is no standout session here, not even close.
The only spot we’ve got to look at is Bajo el Medio (Rocky-Point). It’s a sheltered reef break, but it’s inconsistent and typically only works with a swell from the NW. The problem is, the forecast is all about wind from the NNE and N, which is cross-on for this setup. That’s the worst kind of wind for a sheltered reef, blowing right across the face.
So, the honest truth? There’s nothing to recommend. You’d be better off leaving the board in the car and finding something else to do. It’s one of those blank runs that’s more normal for this area when the wind is stuck in this pattern. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s just no surf to be had.
Rusty.
