The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down San Vicente Rivermouth. It’s gonna be a slow start, so don’t rush.
From Monday the 10th through Saturday the 16th, the surf is tiny and mostly messy. Swells are around 0.6ft to 1.0ft, with weak energy (27 to 110). Winds are either glassy or cross-onshore, but the waves just don’t have any push. You’ll be looking at a flat pond most of the first week.
Sunday the 16th morning offers a small window: glassy, 1.0ft swell from the NNW, period 7 seconds, energy 90. It’s “surfable but very ordinary.” Not great, but it’s the only thing moving.
Then we hit another dry spell until Thursday the 20th. That afternoon sees a 2ft swell from the NNW, period 7 seconds, energy 142, but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore. It’s still poor. Honestly, this whole stretch is more for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Friday the 21st morning is where it finally gets interesting. Glassy conditions, a 0.9ft swell from the NNW, period 10 seconds, energy 129. That longer period means better shape, and the wind is dead calm. It’s still “ordinary,” but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen.
The standout is Saturday the 22nd morning. Glassy, 1ft swell from the NNW, period 10 seconds, energy 171. That’s moderate energy, clean faces, and a nice long-period groundswell wrapping into the rivermouth. Crowds can show up sometimes, but with “fairly consistent” conditions, it’s worth the crowd. That’s your best shot.
Water temp is about average for this time of year. No other breaks in the mix, so it’s all about the Rivermouth.
Hang tight. First week is a bust, but that Saturday morning could be a little gem.
Rusty.
