Rosa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Rosa has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off with a bit of a slow grind, but there's some real gems hidden in the second half of the forecast. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but don't write it off just yet. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is just about normal for this time of year, so no need to dig out the extra thick rubber just yet.

The action really starts to pick up on Wednesday the 22nd. It’s a small one, but Wednesday morning at Rosa is looking like a sneaky good session. The wind is absolutely dead, glassy as a mirror, with a tiny 4ft swell from the ENE. It’s not going to be big, but for a quiet paddle and some clean little lines, that’s a winner. The energy is weak (253), so don't expect to get blown out of the water, but it's a proper start.

The first real standout is Thursday the 24th. Friday morning and afternoon are both looking absolutely prime. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy or virtually nonexistent. That’s the kind of forecast that gets you out of bed early. The combined energy is moderate (749 and 717), so there’s a bit of push behind it, but it’s not stupidly powerful. This is the pick of the first week for sure.

We hit a bit of a lull over the weekend and into the start of the following week. Saturday the 25th has some decent morning waves, but the wind swings around and puts a chop on it by the afternoon. Sunday the 26th morning has a really interesting little pulse: a 3ft S swell with a 12-second period, and offshore winds (552 energy). That’s a long period groundswell, so it might wall up a bit, but with clean wind, it’ll be worth a look.

Then there’s a bit of a dry spell from Monday the 27th through to Wednesday the 29th. The swell drops off and the wind gets messy. A few days of small, ordinary stuff. But hang tight.

Thursday the 30th afternoon is a bit of a surprise. Out of nowhere, we get a glassy 6ft S swell showing up (544 energy). That’s a nice little pulse to break the quiet spell.

The real standout of the whole forecast window is Friday the 31st. The afternoon session is looking like the best of the bunch. We’ve got a 6ft SSE swell, but the period jumps to 12 seconds, and the energy is strong at 985. The wind is light and cross-offshore. That’s a proper groundswell, with real power and shape. If you’re going to pick one session in the next two weeks, this is it. The morning session on Friday is also decent (6ft, 8-second period, 412 energy), but the afternoon is the top shelf.

After that, we get a bit of a messy end to the forecast. The first few days of August are choppy and blown out with strong onshore winds. Saturday the 1st is a write-off. Sunday the 2nd is clean but the wind direction is cross-shore, creating a bit of a chop. The energy is high (1074 and 997), but the quality is not there.

The very end of the run, on Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, has some interesting potential. Monday morning is glassy with a 4ft SE swell at 11 seconds (550 energy). That’s a clean, long-period swell, but it’s small. Tuesday the 4th has a 4ft SE swell with a very long 13-second period and a massive 910 energy. That’s got some serious grunt, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it might be a bit bumpy. Keep an eye on that one, it’s promising but less certain this far out.

Stay stoked, and keep your eyes on the horizon.
