Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in with a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. Let's get straight to it.
Right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are a write-off—choppy, cross-onshore winds, and the energy just isn't there. The water is sittin' at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 68°, but that's about the only thing going for it. We've got a solid gap from Monday the 6th all the way through to the end of the first week with nothing worth paddling out for.
Things start to look a little more interesting around Wednesday the 15th. The wind finally swings offshore, light from the ESE, and the water cleans up. Sure, it's only a small 2ft SW groundswell, but that long 16-second period will give it some shape. It's a bit of a tease, but it's the first real chance we get.
Now, the real standout is sittin' on Sunday the 19th. That's the day to circle on the calendar. We're lookin' at a solid pulse of SW groundswell bumpin' up to 5ft, with a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is strong, reading 1280. The morning has light cross-onshore breezes, keepin' the surface clean. Rosarito's a beach, reef, and rivermouth setup, so it can handle a bit of direction, and this swell is comin' right from the optimum SW. The water's still comfortable, and the conditions are a solid step up from the flatness we've been dealin' with. Just keep in mind, this one's a week and a half out, so it's promising but not locked in yet.
The 20th and 21st look like they'll drop back down again, with the swell fading and the winds turnin' onshore and cross-onshore again. The energy's weak (around 495), and it's back to those marginal calls.
Bottom line: Don't even bother for the first week. The only real chance to get wet is that Wednesday the 15th window, and the real standout is Sunday the 19th if the forecast holds. Keep your eyes on that one.
Rusty.

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.
