The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here. It’s been a pretty quiet stretch at San Vicente Rivermouth, but there’s a couple of windows where the stars line up. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing wild, just a nice little bonus.
The whole period starts with a bit of a whimper, not a bang. The first few days are a write-off, with only tiny waves and poor conditions. Tuesday morning the 1st does have 4ft of NW swell, period 10s, and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (231) and the comment says it’s very ordinary. Not worth getting wet for. It’s a frustrating gap of over a week of mostly small, choppy, or cross-off junk.
The first real standout is Thursday morning, the 10th of September. We finally get a morning of clean, glassy conditions with 4ft of swell from the NNW, period 10s. The combined energy is moderate (277) and the call is for good surf. The wind is light and glassy, so it’ll be clean. The best on offer in the whole period.
Then, after another few days of small, messy surf, we get a long-range promise. Wednesday morning, the 16th of September, has 3ft of NW swell, period 12s, with glassy conditions again. The energy is strong (331) and the forecast is for good surf. This is a longer-period groundswell, which should give the rivermouth some nice, lined-up waves, though it might be a bit inconsistent between sets. It’s a promising call, but being two weeks out, keep an eye on it.
The main takeaway: if you’re keen, mark your calendar for Thursday the 10th morning. That’s your best bet. The 16th is a hopeful one for the long haul.
Rusty.
