The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the upcoming swell window at the San Jose Rivermouth. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but some serious potential later on, so stick with me.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, I'm not gonna lie. From Tuesday the 14th right through to the weekend, it’s mostly small, messy, and cross-onshore. The energy is weak to moderate (between 136 and 982), and the wind just isn’t playing ball. You’ll see a bit of swell on Friday the 17th morning, but it’s a marginal 4ft from the S with a cross-onshore breeze, so it’s not worth rushing for.
Now, things start to get interesting on Monday the 20th of July. The morning sees a glassy 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and the energy is building (789). The wind goes glassy, and the afternoon holds a clean 4ft SW swell. This is a nice, clean window for the intermediate crew. The water is a balmy 84°F, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – super unusual, you’ll be in boardies for sure.
The real standout, though, is the Friday the 24th of July. This is the one to circle on your calendar. We’re looking at a solid 10ft SW groundswell hitting on Friday morning with clean, glassy conditions. The combined energy is a massive 3152, meaning it’s pumping. This is proper, powerful groundswell, and because it’s a rivermouth, those long-period lines should set up nicely. This is expert territory at over 8ft, so leave the foamies at home. The afternoon cleans up even more with a 8ft SW swell and a gentle offshore from the WNW.
Saturday the 25th is also a gem. The morning is a bit smaller at 3ft, but the afternoon is flat calm, glassy, and serving up a clean 5ft SW groundswell (energy 2377). This is a fantastic session for the more experienced surfer.
After that, the swell drops back into the 4ft to 5ft range for the rest of the month with light winds, which is still fun but nothing compared to that Friday the 24th.
So, the clear winner here is Friday the 24th of July at the San Jose Rivermouth. Get on it if you’ve got the skills.
Rusty.
