The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the surf over the next couple of weeks for San Vicente Rivermouth.

Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a slow burn. There's a lot of small, weak swell and tricky wind in the mix, so you'll need to be patient. The first real chance of anything decent arrives way out on the 23rd, but the pick of the whole period looks to be the morning of Tuesday the 25th.

The water temp is sitting at 71°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, which means it's a touch warmer than average for this time of year.

Let's start with the early days. This Tuesday morning, the 11th, is the only surfable window in the near term. We've got a tiny 2ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 67. The wind is glassy from the NNE at 3 mph, which will keep it clean. But honestly, it's so small and ordinary that it's barely worth a paddle. After that, we hit a major dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon right through until Saturday the 22nd, the conditions are consistently poor. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the quality is just not there. It's a long gap of over a week with nothing to recommend.

Now, things start to get interesting on the 22nd. We see a jump in size with a 4ft NNW swell, but the period is a long 11 seconds and the wind is a messy moderate cross-onshore from the WNW at 12-16 mph. The combined energy is strong at 406, but with that wind, it's going to be choppy and hard to handle. That setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The real standout comes on the morning of Sunday the 23rd. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the NW with a 10-second period, but the wind is dead calm from the SW at 0 mph. The combined energy is a moderate 165. With glassy conditions, this will be the cleanest the wave will be all week. It's a river mouth, so that long period should wrap in nicely, and with no wind, it'll be worth a look.

The best of the entire forecast, though, is the morning of Tuesday the 25th. We've got a solid 5ft NW swell with a 10-second period, driving a strong combined energy of 367. The wind is glassy from the west at 3 mph. This is the real deal. The swell is strong, the direction is perfect for the optimum NW, and the wind is ideal. It's a little on the bigger side for beginners, but for intermediates and up, this is the session to circle in your calendar. Just keep in mind, the afternoon turns a bit lumpy with a cross-shore breeze.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The 23rd is a nice little glassy wave, but the 25th morning is the absolute standout. Keep your eyes on that Tuesday.

Rusty.
