The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up for our local stretch.
We’re looking at a bit of a flat, frustrating start with a real lack of quality surf on offer for the next several days. We’re talking about San Vicente Rivermouth here, and honestly, the first week or so is a bit of a write-off for anything decent. The water temp is sitting at 70.2°, which is about 1.8° warmer than usual for early September, so not too wild.
A tiny bump shows up on Thursday the 10th morning. We’ve got a little 4.3ft NW swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the ESE. It’ll be clean, and the energy is moderate (308), but it’s not going to blow anyone’s mind. It’s just about the only window where you might get a fun little session if you're desperate for a paddle.
The next real standout, and I mean the only one worth circling on your calendar, is on Sunday the 13th. The early morning session will see a pulse of swell hit 4.6ft from the NW with a nice long period of 13 seconds. The energy in the water is solid (639), meaning there’s some proper grunt behind it. Winds are light and cross from the East, so it’ll be pretty clean despite the cross-shore. Keep in mind this is a rivermouth, and a long-period swell like this can set up some nice lines here. It’s an intermediate wave, so be ready. The afternoon gets choppy as the wind swings onshore, so get on it early.
After that, the outlook gets pretty washed out again. There’s another pulse on the 23rd of September – over a week and a half away – with a proper 4.3ft groundswell and an incredibly long 19-second period. The energy will be pumping (939), but the wind is looking onshore and moderate, which will trash it. Still, it’s far out, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, Sunday the 13th morning is your best and only real highlight. It’s a little inconsistent but it’s the one to chase.
