The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at San Vicente Rivermouth for the next couple weeks.
It’s pretty slow to kick off. Friday morning the 11th has a tiny 2 ft swell from the NNW, but the energy is weak (74) and it’s just not worth suiting up for. Friday afternoon gets choppy with a cross-on wind, and Saturday the 12th is even smaller and worse.
Sunday the 13th brings the first real pulse – 4 ft from the NW with a nice 12-second period. The combined energy hits a moderate 443, which is more like it, but the wind is light cross-on, so the surface is a bit rippled. That swell hangs through Monday the 14th, dropping to 3 ft, but still with some wind mess.
Here’s your first standout. Thursday morning the 17th has a solid 5 ft from the NW, 11-second period, and the wind goes glass out of the ESE. Dead calm, clean as a whistle. The energy is strong at 462. For a river mouth, that’s a prime morning. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Saturday the 19th morning is another glassy window with 5 ft from the NW and strong energy (506). Good, fun-sized, clean waves.
Now into the second week, the size ramps up. Sunday the 20th morning brings 7 ft from the NW with a very long 16-second period and massive energy (1983). That’s a big groundswell – expert territory. The wind is light cross-on. For a river mouth setup, that size and wind might look better for kite surfing.
The real highlight of the second week is Friday morning the 25th. The swell drops to a more manageable 6 ft from the NNW, 12-second period, and the wind is totally calm – zero wind, glassy. The energy is strong at 875. That’s a gorgeous, clean, lined-up day. It’s 14 days out, so promising but not locked in.
To sum up, skip the first few days. Thursday the 17th and Saturday the 19th mornings are your clean standouts in the first week. In the second week, Friday the 25th morning is the one to circle for glassy, moderate-sized waves. The big stuff on the 20th and 21st is for experts only.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.
