San Carpoforo Creek Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at San Carpoforo Creek.

The next couple of days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. We’ve got a slow start with some small, short-period swell on Thursday and Friday, but the wind is on it or cross-onshore and the conditions are just poor. Hold your horses until the weekend.

By Sunday morning the 9th, things start to look up. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a long period of 15 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive. The wave energy is moderate (505), and the creek bed should handle that long-period groundswell well. A morning session on Sunday the 9th is the first real standout of this outlook. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean and fun for an intermediate.

The following week is a mixed bag. We get a little bump in size Monday the 10th to about 4ft from the WNW, but the period drops to 10 seconds, and the wind stays on it. The conditions aren’t dialed. For the rest of that week, it’s mostly marginal with light winds, but nothing really lights up until the weekend.

Now, keep an eye on Monday the 17th. The morning session shows a glassy 3ft SSW swell with a 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate (450), and with the wind dead calm, that’s another clean window for a paddle.

Looking further out, Tuesday the 18th afternoon brings a bit of a treat: clean, cross-off winds from the SSE with a 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period. The wave energy is moderate (431), and those cross-off conditions will keep the faces tidy. That’s a solid option for a late-day session if you can get out.

So, to boil it down: the best bets are Sunday morning the 9th for glassy, long-period surf, and Monday morning the 17th for another clean session. Tuesday the 18th afternoon is a nice bonus with those clean cross-off winds.

The water temp anomaly is not given, so I can’t say if it’s unusual for the time of year, but it’s just another day at the creek.

Rusty.
