The Lowdown
Right, folks, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. The outlook for San Vicente Rivermouth is a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a lot of days with small, weak swell and messy wind, but it’s not a total loss. There are a few moments where it all lines up, and those are the ones to circle.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t kick in until Monday, July 27th. The morning starts with a glassy surface and a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, but it’s a long-period groundswell at 11 seconds. The combined energy is weak (99), so it’s not going to be powerful, but those long waits between sets might make it easy to paddle out. The following morning, Tuesday, July 28th, has a bit more size (5ft) but with rain showers and a cross-onshore wind, it’s messy and only marginal.
Now, the real standout window is Wednesday, July 29th, through Thursday, July 30th. Wednesday morning is the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the NW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. The wind is light, so the waves will have some shape. The combined energy is moderate (445). This is a solid intermediate wave. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore and picks up to 15 mph, making it a choppy mess, so get out early.
Thursday, July 30th, is another cracker. The morning is glassy with a 5ft NW groundswell. The period is a very long 11 seconds, and the energy is strong (663). This is going to be a proper, powerful wave. It’s a rivermouth, so it can handle that long-period energy well, but it might be a bit too much for beginners. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, it all fades away. From Friday, July 31st, right through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday, August 4th, the swell drops off to nothing. We’re looking at 1ft to 3ft, with poor winds and weak energy. It’s a long, flat spell. The best advice is to keep an eye on Wednesday and Thursday, as they are the only true standouts in this run.
