Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for our local stretch.
Honestly, I'm looking out at the next sixteen days and it's a flat spell. A real quiet one. We've got a solid gap here with no real surf to get excited about. From now all the way through to Saturday the 18th of July, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There's no standout day, no sneaky swell window. It's just one long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy waves.
The only spot in the frame is the San Vicente Rivermouth, a river mouth break that's fairly consistent but the problem is there's nothing consistent about the swell. The water temp is running much warmer than normal at 71° with a 5° anomaly, so it's definitely unusual for the time of year, but that won't help the waves.
Let's run through the small pockets of energy. On Friday the 3rd of July, we see a NW swell coming in at 3ft to 3ft with an 11-second period. That gives us moderate wave energy (202), but the wind is a light cross-onshore and it's rating as poor surf. Saturday the 4th drops further to 2ft, still cross-onshore. By Sunday the 5th we're down to 2ft. The combined energy on that Sunday morning is a weak 75. Not worth paddling out.
A couple of mornings, like Wednesday the 15th of July and Friday the 17th of July, show a glassy surface with 2ft swell. That clean surface would be nice, but the height is just too small to ride. The Thursday afternoon of the 16th and 18th of July show a small bump of 2-3ft from the NW, but again, it's all cross-onshore or just too weak.
The entire sixteen-day window is a write-off for proper waves. It's a long, flat, poor run. But you know how it goes around here – it tends not to stay this dull forever. Forecasts can change, and we might get a late surprise. Until then, keep your board in the car just in case, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
