Table - best surf conditions forecast for San Vicente Rivermouth over the next 16 days.
Alright, gather 'round. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty dismal 16-day stretch. Don't get your hopes up.
Right off the bat, looking at San Vicente Rivermouth, the water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 69°. The problem is, through the first week of July, there's nothing to ride. We’re talking days of nothing but tiny, weak slop with combined swell energy barely getting into double digits – most of it sitting between 21 and 72. A couple of those mornings on Thursday the 9th and Saturday the 11th have light offshore wind, but the swell is so weak and small it’s not worth suiting up. Then we get a glimpse of something on Sunday the 12th with glassy conditions in the morning and afternoon, but the swell height is only 2ft to 2ft with a period around 9 seconds. Combined energy maxes at 65, which is still weak. It’s rideable on a log, maybe, but the wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." That pretty much sums up the whole period.
We then slog through another week of tiny waves, with most days showing combined energy below 20. You’ll see a few glassy mornings, like on Friday the 17th and Monday the 20th, but the swell is still pathetic, barely reaching 2ft and lacking any punch.
The only tiny, tiny glimmer comes right at the very end on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with a slight bump to 2ft from the NW, but the period is a shocker at just 5 seconds, so it’ll be weak and messy. The combined energy at that point is only 28 – still very weak. That afternoon it’s cross-onshore anyway.
The bottom line: There are zero standout sessions here. For 16 days straight, every single entry in the file says "poor surf conditions." The swell is either non-existent or gutless, and the rare good wind windows are completely wasted. This break is fairly consistent, so when it’s this flat, it really stings. Don't bother paddling out unless you're desperate for a float. Forecasts can change, but right now, this one looks cooked.
Rusty.
