The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise.
The first couple of days are flat to weak – not worth getting wet for. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th morning show a little pulse of life: Sunday morning the 13th has a 4ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period and a light offshore breeze, but it's only moderate energy. You could get a few, but it’s not going to set the world on fire.
The real deal is sitting a week and a half out. Circle Monday the 21st of September. That morning, San Vicente Rivermouth gets a solid 7ft NW groundswell with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is pumping (1649). The wind is glassy – a slight offshore breeze – so the surface will be clean. This is a proper, powerful groundswell, so expect well-formed waves with good spacing. But at over 6ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers. Beginners, sit this one out. Crowds are likely, so be ready for company.
Tuesday the 22nd morning is a strong follow-up: 5ft NW swell, still almost glassy, with 13-second period and solid energy (805). Another excellent window for the experienced surfer.
Thursday the 24th morning also looks good – a glassy 5ft NW groundswell with good period (14 seconds) and a healthy 684 energy reading.
After that, the swell fades fast into the final weekend. The 26th and 27th are small and weak again. The best surf is definitely in that sweet spot around the 21st and 22nd. Worth the wait.
Rusty.
