The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the San Vicente Rivermouth forecast in feet and miles.
It’s a bit of a waiting game, with some real flat spells in between. The pattern is mostly small, inconsistent swell with a few short windows where everything clicks. The water is about 71°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The only real standout is on Monday, August 31st. The morning session is looking like the pick. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell, coming from the perfect direction for this spot. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and the combined energy is a solid 384 – that’s moderate power, enough to get some drive. The 10-second period is a proper groundswell, giving you well-shaped waves with good gaps between sets. The break is fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves, but it can get crowded sometimes, so it’s worth getting out there early. This is the one to aim for.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. By Wednesday, September 2nd, the swell drops to a tiny 2ft with weak energy (45). Not worth the drive. The blank run stretches for several days, with only small, weak waves and poor wind through the end of the first week and into the start of the second. There’s a brief spike on Saturday, September 5th, where the swell jumps to 4ft with a very long 15-second period and a huge 824 combined energy, but the wind is blowing 30 km/h from the east, creating a messy cross-chop. That’s a kite session, not a paddle session.
The final week is flat. The swell drops to 2ft to 3ft with poor energy and poor wind. No real surf to speak of. The bottom line: if you want a wave, make it Monday morning. The rest is a long, quiet stretch.
Rusty.
