The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about San Vicente Rivermouth. This is a river-mouth setup that gets a decent chunk of north-west swell, but for a stretch here it’s gonna feel like a waiting game. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first week and a bit is a total write-off. From Sunday the 13th through Friday the 18th, it’s all poor conditions – cross and cross-onshore breezes messing up waves that are mostly under 5 ft. Swell energy is weak to moderate. Not much to get excited about for six days. Time to work on your ding repair skills.
The real standout busts through on Saturday morning the 19th. That’s the call. We’re looking at a clean 7 ft swell from the NW with a proper 14-second period – that’s your real groundswell. And the wind? Dead glassy. That’s absolutely mint for a river mouth. The combined energy is a strong 1657, so there’s plenty of punch. This is a big wave for the experienced surfer; it’s above the 5 ft mark, so beginners should stay on the beach. That long period might make it a bit fat at the river mouth, but with glassy conditions it’s going to be your best window by far. Crowds are sometimes around, so be ready to share.
Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st keep the swell solid with 7 ft and 7 ft from the NW, with very long periods of 16 and 14 seconds. Energy is strong (1832 and 2006). But the winds turn cross-shore or cross-on, so while there’s size, the surface won’t be as clean as that Saturday morning gold.
After that, things drop off into smaller, weaker, and messier surf through the end of the outlook.
One day to book in: Saturday the 19th morning session. Don’t miss it.
