Rosa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s look at the Rosa area for the next couple weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed deal. Starts off small and bumpy, but there’s a couple of real standouts in there. Circle Sunday the 13th and Tuesday the 22nd – those are your best bets.

So, Tuesday morning the 8th kicks things off and it’s a bit of a letdown at Rosa. You got a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind’s cross, and the energy’s moderate (445). Water temps are about 64°, nothing unusual. That afternoon gets worse with a 4ft onshore slop. No good.

Wednesday the 9th morning is a total turnaround. Swell drops to a cleaner 4ft from the south, but the wind is dead calm – glassy as a mirror. Energy’s moderate at 646, but with those conditions, it’ll be a joy. Afternoon turns a little cross-on, but still rideable if you’re keen.

Thursday the 10th is a step down. Morning has a small 3ft S swell with a nice 12-second period, but the cross-breeze messes it up. Energy’s moderate (552), but it’s nothing special. Friday the 11th is a write-off – messy NE wind and a 4ft NE swell. Forget it.

Saturday the 12th we start to see some real size. An 8ft S swell rolls in, and the wind is clean cross-off. Energy is strong at 1072, but the morning gets a “marginal” tag – size and tides likely. Leave it for the big-wave guys.

Then we get the first real standout: Sunday the 13th. This is the pick of the first week. Morning has a clean 7ft SSE swell with a light offshore cross-off breeze from the SW. Energy is moderate at 746, but clean. The afternoon is the real gem. Swell bumps to 7ft from the SSE, still cross-off, and the energy surges to a very strong 1255. Called “excellent for experienced surfers” – and I’d agree. The 9-second period isn’t crazy long, but with that power and clean wind, it’ll be firing.

Monday the 14th is trash – onshore gusts and a 7ft east swell. Move on.

Tuesday the 15th gets huge – 10ft from the east, but the notes say it’s too big for Rosa. Energy is massive at 2751. That’s a kite day or a battle.

Wednesday the 16th settles to a more manageable 5ft from the ESE, with clean cross-off wind in the morning. Moderate energy (636). Solid for anyone who missed Sunday.

Then we hit a flat spell. Thursday the 17th through Saturday the 19th is mostly small, choppy, and cross-on. There’s a slight hope on Saturday the 19th morning with a 7ft ENE swell and clean cross-off wind, but the energy is moderate (610) and period short (8 seconds) – lumpy.

Then the second true standout: Tuesday the 22nd. This is the best forecast of the entire run. Morning has a 7ft S swell with a long 13-second period and glassy, light offshore wind. Energy is very strong at 1697. “Excellent for experienced surfers.” That’s groundswell power. Afternoon is even better – 7ft S swell, 14-second period, and dead glass again (1828 energy). This one is for the crew.

Wednesday the 23rd fades to small, poor onshore junk.

So, if you can, make it for Sunday the 13th afternoon or Tuesday the 22nd. The rest is filler or gaps of a few days with nothing.
