Gather 'round, folks. Rusty here. Let's talk about what San Carpoforo Creek has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with a few quiet days to start and a couple of windows that could be worth a look.
Alright, so right now things are pretty grim. Friday the 10th is a write-off – that 7ft WNW swell is cross-onshore and choppy, and the water is a bit colder than normal at 56°. We're looking at a stretch of poor conditions through Saturday and into Sunday morning. The good news is we finally get a break Sunday morning the 12th. It's a bit of a standout in this outlook.
Sunday, July 12th morning is your best bet in this whole forecast. We're looking at 3ft of SSW swell with a long 14-second period, and the wind is glassy. That’s the magic word for a creek break like this – clean, no ripples. The combined wave energy is a solid moderate 548. It’s a consistent spot but crowds are possible, so get there early.
Monday morning the 13th is still decent – some 3ft SSW swell with glassy conditions again, but not as strong as Sunday. After that, things go downhill fast. Monday afternoon through the end of the second week is dominated by cross-onshore winds and a mix of short-period wind swell. From Tuesday the 14th through to Saturday the 25th, the surf is mostly poor with short 6-9 second periods and choppy conditions. There’s a couple of marginal mornings here and there, but nothing you’d want to drive for.
The long-range end is more of the same. Saturday morning July 25th shows a 2ft SSW swell with a very long 21-second period (that's groundswell, so it'll be lined up best at this point break), but it's let down by the cross-onshore breeze. For now, mark your calendar for Sunday morning – that's the one.
Rusty.
