The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. A solid week of waiting, but there’s a real window of opportunity here. Most of this 16-day run is a bit of a write-off for decent waves, with a frustratingly long stretch of poor conditions. The wind and swell just aren’t lining up for clean, rideable surf until the morning of Monday, July 27th. That’s your main chance, and it’s a good one.
The water at San Vicente Rivermouth is sitting at a warm 73°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a rare treat, so you’ll be in boardies for sure.
The first few days are a total bust. From Tuesday, the 21st, through to Sunday, the 26th, it’s all cross-onshore winds, short-period swell, and choppy, messy conditions. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, with the combined energy sitting between 43 and 239. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, the standout. Monday morning, July 27th, is the one. The Rivermouth wakes up with a clean 6 ft swell from the NNW, with a long 10-second period. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the energy jumps to 533 (moderate to strong). This is a proper groundswell setup. The river mouth should handle that long-period energy well, offering some shape. The wave comment says “good surf conditions,” and it’s the only real highlight. The afternoon kicks up a cross-onshore breeze, so get in early.
The rest of the week after that is a frustrating mix of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, with the swell dropping back below 4 ft. The energy stays in the 100-500 range, but the wind just ruins it. The morning of Tuesday, July 28th, has a marginal 5 ft swell and a lone decent score, but it’s cross-shore with chop, so it’s not a true standout.
From Thursday, July 30th, through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, August 5th, it’s all small, weak, and messy. Swell heights drop to 1 ft to 3 ft, with combined energy below 136. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or light, with a few glassy moments on the 1st and 4th of August, but the swell is just too small to do anything. The 4th of August morning has a dalliance with decent conditions, but it’s only 2 ft of swell. Not worth a special trip.
So, bottom line: the only real shot is the morning of Monday, July 27th. That’s the one. Everything else is a waiting game.
