Saltwater Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

For the next 16 days, Saltwater is the main show. This right-hand point break faces the south-east swell and is pretty reliable. The water temp is about normal for this time of the year. The first big window runs from Tuesday the 7th through Friday morning the 10th, but the real standout is a massive pulse later on.

Tuesday the 7th morning hits hard with 12ft swell out of the SSE at 11 seconds, with a light offshore wind keeping things clean. Wave energy is pumping at 2766 – plenty of power. This is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds the same size but the wind switches to a cross-off, still clean. Wednesday the 8th eases to 8ft from the SE, still with that long 11-second period and light cross-off breezes. Solid surf.

Thursday the 9th is clean with 7ft SE swell at 10 seconds in the morning, and a light offshore wind. Friday the 10th drops to 6ft from the SE, still tidy with light wind. The point will handle that long period properly – good shape, longer waits between sets.

Saturday the 11th is small. Swell drops to 4ft from SE at 9 seconds, morning’s a bit chopped, but the afternoon goes glassy at 4ft. Tiny but clean.

From Sunday the 12th through Thursday the 17th, it’s mostly small stuff, often under 5ft and nothing special. Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy but only 4ft. There’s a week of average conditions.

Then Monday the 20th afternoon brings a 8ft S swell at 9 seconds with offshore wind, setting the stage for the big one.

Tuesday the 21st is the standout. Morning delivers a huge 15ft south swell at 11 seconds, with light offshore wind. Wave energy is a massive 7969. Experts only. The afternoon goes even bigger: 16ft at 13 seconds, clean cross-off winds, and energy hitting 11823. This is a rare, powerful day. The point break will handle it perfectly.

Wednesday the 22nd morning still has 10ft SSE swell, clean.

Crowds are likely at Saltwater when it’s this good, so be early.
