Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.
Straight up, the next couple of weeks are not looking great for Rosarito. We’ve got a bit of a bleak stretch ahead, with only marginal conditions popping up here and there. The first real chance to get wet won’t be until Wednesday morning, July 8th, but even then, the surf is pretty average.
The real highlight of the whole period, and the only one worth getting a little excited about, is the early session on Wednesday morning, July 8th. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the southwest, with a nice long 16-second period pushing through. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the wind is blowing directly offshore from the west at just 9 mph, which will keep the faces super clean. The combined energy is moderate at 1053. It’s a consistent spot, so you should score a few, but it can get crowded sometimes. If you can get out early, that’s your window. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s a long slow slide into smaller, choppier conditions. Thursday morning, July 9th, shows a 3ft southwest swell, but the wind is cross-onshore at 6 mph, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The combined energy has already dropped to 740. Not terrible for a beginner if you just want to get wet, but don’t expect any gems.
Moving into the second week, it gets even quieter. By Tuesday, July 14th, we’re down to a 2ft swell from the south with a 12-second period and the energy has fallen to 219. That’s weak. The wind is offshore from the west at 6 mph in the morning, but the waves just aren’t there. It’s more of a paddle-around situation.
The very tail end of the outlook, around Saturday, July 18th, shows a slight bump back to 3ft from the southwest with an 18-second period and a combined energy of 671. The wind is light cross-onshore at 6 mph. It’s a marginal call, but with that long period, it might offer a few cleaner lines than the rest of that week, but don’t bet the house on it.
So, in short, the only real standout is Wednesday morning, July 8th. The rest is pretty flat and bumpy. For beginners, that Thursday or Friday morning with waist-high swell and light winds might be okay for practice, but it’s not going to blow your mind.
Stay safe out there.

Information about the Rosarito Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rosarito provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rosarito can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rosarito surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Rosarito) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rosarito may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
