Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what San Carpoforo Creek has cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands for the first week, with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The swell windows are there, but the wind is just wreckin’ it most of the time. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Friday the 10th of July.
That Friday morning, we’re looking at a solid 7 ft swell out of the NW with a short period of 9 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell blend. The energy is strong, coming in at 1463 (moderate to strong combined energy). The wind is light cross-onshore from the WNW, which is workable. This one’s for the intermediates – the size is pushing it for beginners and it’s not super clean, but it’s the biggest, most powerful pulse we see. The afternoon switches up, but the morning is your best window.
After that, things drop off again. Through Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th of July, the swell hangs around 3 ft from the SSW with decent period (15 seconds), but the wind is all over the place – cross, light offshore here and there. The scores are marginal, so you might find a sneaky one if you’re keen, but it’s not a standout.
There’s another pulse on Sunday afternoon the 12th of July with a 8 ft WNW swell, but the period is only 7 seconds and it’s blowing moderate cross-onshore. That’s a choppy, bumpy mess – more for the kite crowd than a paddle surfer, to be honest. The energy is moderate (869), but the quality just isn’t there.
Looking into the second week, it’s pretty quiet. The swell drops right off from Monday the 13th of July onward, with small waves and persistent cross-onshore winds. There’s a little spike on the 14th of July with a 4 ft WNW swell and light offshore wind in the afternoon, but the period is short at 8 seconds and energy is low (422). It’s a maybe, but don’t hold your breath.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is that Friday the 10th of July morning. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. Get out early, pick your corner, and hope the wind plays nice.
Stay patient, folks. It’s a slow patch.
