Safi Garden (Le Jardin) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Safi Garden (Le Jardin). This point break is the only game in town for the next couple of weeks, so let's get into it.

We're kicking off Sunday the 13th with some small, clean surf, but it's not going to set the world on fire. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a solid 8° colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a good, thick wetsuit. The early part of the week is all about small, rideable waves but nothing special. Monday the 14th morning looks the pick of the early days with a nice 3ft NW groundswell (12-second period) and a light cross-off breeze, keeping things clean. That's about the best we get until Thursday.

Now, the real action starts on Thursday the 17th. We've got a proper pulse of swell arriving. Thursday morning sees a jump to 6ft from the NNW with a moderate period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is sitting at a solid moderate 504. The wind is gentle offshore, so the point should be firing with some nice, clean lines. Thursday afternoon holds similar size at 6ft with even more energy (762) and moderate offshore wind. Friday the 18th keeps the quality going with 6ft NNW swell and light cross-off winds, making for a great morning session.

Saturday the 19th is a standout. The morning is solid with 5ft from the NNW and gentle cross-off winds, but the real talk is Saturday afternoon. We've got a 4ft swell but the period jumps to a very long 16 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to a very strong 1459. That's a lot of power pushing in, but with that long period, the point should handle it beautifully. The wind goes fresh offshore, so it'll be clean, but the tide might be a factor. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

After that, the surf backs off a bit. Sunday the 20th is a write-off with onshore winds. Monday the 21st morning offers a small reprieve with a 3ft NNW swell and light cross-off breeze, good for a session. The real gem of the second week looks to be Tuesday the 22nd morning: 4ft of NW groundswell (13 seconds) with a gentle cross-off breeze and combined energy of 693. It's a moderate to strong energy level and the conditions should be clean and lined up. The rest of the week fades into smaller, more marginal surf, with the occasional clean window on the 26th and 27th, but nothing that matches that Thursday-to-Tuesday run.

Overall, the best bet for quality is the Thursday 17th through Tuesday 22nd window, with Saturday afternoon the 19th being the true standout for power and potential. This break can get crowded, so get in early for the good ones.

Rusty.
