The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the ocean’s got cookin' for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the heart rate up.
Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty much a washout. We're looking at tiny, weak surf with not much push behind it. It’s the kind of stuff that’ll have you checking your wax instead of your leash. The water temp is sitting around 72.9°F at San Vicente Rivermouth, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a small silver lining while we wait.
The real story starts to unfold on Friday the 28th. That’s when a proper NW groundswell fills in. We’re talking a solid 6.2ft early with a long 11-second period. The energy readings jump way up, a massive jump from the weak sauce we've been seeing. And the wind? Dead glassy. This is the standout of the whole window right here. It’s a river mouth, so it can handle this size, but remember, at 6.2ft it’s pushing it for beginners. For the rest of us, this is the one to circle on the calendar.
Saturday the 29th is still worth a paddle. The swell backs down a touch to 4.6ft, but it’s still got that clean NW pulse with a 9-second period and glassy morning conditions. There’s plenty of fun to be had before the afternoon breeze kicks in.
We get another little pulse on Monday the 31st, with 3.9ft waves and a clean, glassy morning. It’s not as strong as Friday, but it’s a decent follow-up. After that, it fades back into small, junky surf for the first week of September. There’s a bit of energy on the 4th and 5th, but the wind and swell quality just aren’t there. It looks like a period of cross-onshore junk for the most part.
Then, to close things out on Monday the 7th of September, the wind is going to be howling out of the WNW at 22-25 mph. With waves around 3.3ft, this setup is going to be messy and blown out. Honestly, that looks more like a kitesurfing day than a surfing day. We’ll have to see if anything else, but as it stands now, Friday the 28th is your best bet for a proper session. Keep it salty.
