The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the San Vicente Rivermouth stretch.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are looking pretty flat and sad. For the first week and a half, from Sunday the 2nd right through to around Saturday the 15th of August, it’s a long, frustrating gap with nothing really worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, often under 2 ft, and the direction is mostly from the NW or NNW, which is cross-on or onshore most of the time. The wave energy is weak, with readings often in the 20s or 30s (combined energy of all swells directed here at just 21). It’s just blown-out dribble.
There is a tiny glimmer on Thursday the 6th of August, with a 3 ft swell from the NW, but it’s still cross-shore, light rain, and the energy is moderate at best (173). That’s still “poor surf conditions” so don’t get your hopes up.
The one period that might give you a reason to check the tides is on Monday the 10th of August morning. We get a small 3 ft groundswell from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. The water is about 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The energy is still weak (93) and the surf is described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the best on offer in a very bleak run.
Similarly, on Monday the 17th of August morning, we see another glassy window with a 3 ft swell from the NNW, period 9 seconds, and moderate energy (184). Again, just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a river mouth, so that longer period (9s) might actually wrap in a bit better here than at a beach break, but it’s still small.
Honestly, there’s no true standout in this 16-day window. The swell is just too small and the wind is rarely clean. If you’re desperate and have a longboard, maybe the 10th or 17th mornings are worth a paddle, but keep expectations low. The conditions are poor for 90% of this stretch. For now, the river mouth is just taking a nap.
Rusty.
