The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, this 16-day window starts quiet. Real quiet. The first few days are a write-off for a decent paddle. We’ve got a tiny little pulse on Wednesday the 5th with the San Vicente Rivermouth showing 2ft of NW swell, but at a short 10 seconds period and with only 91 combined energy, it’s just barely surfable. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Thursday morning the 6th sees a bit more size, 3ft from the NNW, but the period drops to 8 seconds and the wind is cross, so it’s poor. The combined energy bumps to 125 (moderate), but the conditions are just not there. The rest of that week and into the next is a long stretch of poor surf conditions. From Thursday afternoon the 6th all the way through to Friday the 14th, it’s a grim run of tiny waves, cross-onshore winds, and very ordinary conditions. There’s a brief moment of glass on Saturday the 8th morning, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft.
Then, finally, a glimmer. Saturday morning the 15th of August is the standout. The swell picks up to 4ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds and a combined energy of 279 (strong). The wind is glassy, dead calm from the NW at 3 mph. That’s the one to circle. It’s the only morning in the whole run that’s looking good. The afternoon on the 15th gets cross-on again, so make it a dawn mission.
After that, the 16th and 17th are back to poor conditions, with a small bump on the 17th afternoon (3ft, NW, 128 energy) but cross-on wind spoils it. The 20th of August shows a pulse of 149 energy (moderate) and 2ft to 3ft, but with rain showers and a gentle cross-onshore breeze, it’s not going to be clean.
For the best session, it’s Saturday morning the 15th of August at San Vicente Rivermouth. 4ft of NW swell, glassy conditions, and the best energy of the whole forecast. Get on it.
Rusty.
