Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for our Imperial-minded mates.
Same story, different numbers: We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special. The first week plus is full of cross-onshore chop and poor to marginal surf. Don’t expect much.
Friday 10th July morning: we get a brief cleaner window with onshore wind and a 5 ft swell from the WNW, period around 9 seconds. It’s marginal, energy is moderate (806). Not worth rushing for.
Saturday 11th July morning: light onshore breeze, 3 ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period. Combined energy is weak (520). Inconsistent break, so you’ll be waiting for a good one.
The big standout is Saturday 18th July afternoon. Glassy, dead calm conditions. Swell 5 ft from the WNW, 10-second period. Combined energy hits moderate (952). This is your best shot – clean waves for intermediate surfers. Crowds are possible, so don’t expect a secret session.
After that, the swell drops under 3 ft with long periods, light winds, and small clean but unexciting surf.
Wrap-up: Skip the first ten days. Mark your calendar for Saturday 18th July afternoon. That’s the one.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at San Carpoforo Creek can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 San Carpoforo Creek 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.
