The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what San Vicente Rivermouth has cooking for us.
Honestly, I’m scratching my head a bit. We’re looking at a long, dry spell before anything even gets close to interesting. The first couple of weeks are pretty much a write-off. From the 7th of August right through to the 20th, it’s just a constant stream of small, weak, and messy waves. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore affair, and the swell is tiny, with periods under 10 seconds. We’re talking combined energy levels in the teens and twenties (26, 16, 25) – that’s barely a ripple. Even the glassy morning on the 10th of August with 2ft swell from the NW was too weak to do anything with. It’s frustrating, but it happens. The setup is a river mouth, so it needs a proper push to get going.
The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a spring suit will be fine.
Then, finally, on the 21st of August, things start to wake up. The Friday morning session is the one true standout in this whole outlook. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy ramps up to 294 (moderate), and the wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s clean conditions folks. This is a proper window for intermediate surfers. The swell direction is off the NNW, which is not quite the optimum NW, but it’s close enough to wrap into the river mouth. The 5ft size is borderline for beginners, but it’s a great size for anyone with a bit of experience. The 8-second period is a short-period wind swell, so it’ll be a bit more crumbly and less powerful than a groundswell, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be a fun morning.
The Saturday morning on the 22nd of August still has some size, 4ft from the NW, with energy at 242, but it’s a cross-shore wind, which will mess up the face a bit. It’s surfable, but it won’t be as good as that Friday glass-off.
So, to wrap it up: you’re waiting a long time for a clean window. Mark your calendar for the morning of the 21st of August. That’s your best bet. After that, the wind gets a bit tricky again. Patience is the name of the game here.
Rusty.
