The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. I’ve looked over the next 16 days and honestly, for San Vicente Rivermouth, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. There’s no real surf to get excited about right through the whole period. The forecasts are all showing poor surf conditions, so we’re looking at a long, flat run with nothing to recommend.
The first possibility pops up on Friday the 31st, but it’s tiny – just 1ft of swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of only 22 – weak stuff. The morning is glassy, but the waves are too small and weak to bother with. That afternoon stays poor.
Saturday the 1st is more of the same: 2ft from the NNW at best, 8 seconds, 53 energy, but winds are cross-on, making it messy. Sunday the 2nd is even smaller, with 1ft and 2ft, cross-on winds, and energy in the 20s. It’s just not worth paddling out.
Monday the 3rd has a glassy moment in the morning – 1ft from the NW, 7 seconds, 29 energy – but the waves are still poor. For a river mouth, that’s a real letdown. The whole week of the 4th through the 10th stays tiny, with swell heights bouncing between 0.7ft and 2ft, periods mostly under 9 seconds, and energy never cracking 65. Winds are mostly cross-on or glassy, but the swell just isn’t there.
The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Thursday the 6th: glassy, 1ft from the NW, 7 seconds – but again, poor conditions. The 11th and 12th see a slight bump in energy to 50 and 65, with periods up to 11 seconds, but the swell directions are all NW and cross-on winds still ruin any chance of quality. By the 15th, it’s just 1ft from the N with a 4-second period and 11 energy, plus a moderate breeze making it choppy.
There’s no standout swell here. Combined energy values are all below 100, which is weak. The water temperature on the 31st morning is 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only notable thing. The window is dead – no surf worth chasing, just flat spells and onshore slop. Keep your board waxed and wait for a better forecast.
