The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's look at this in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a lean 16-day run at San Vicente Rivermouth. The swell just isn’t showing up, and the wind is a constant problem.
Starting Sunday the 26th of July. Water’s about 71°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say. We’ve got a weak 4ft swell from the NNW with a short, choppy 6-second period. The combined energy is low at (121), and a cross-on breeze from the WNW at 9 mph is wrecking the surface. Don’t bother.
Monday the 27th has a bit more push — 5ft to 5ft from the NNW, with a longer 10-second period. Energy gets moderate (466 to 471), but the wind is cross-on from the ENE, blowing 3 to 12 mph. The morning is marginal, the afternoon is poor. Not the one.
Tuesday the 28th drops to 3ft to 4ft, still a 10-second period, but the wind stays cross or cross-on from the ENE. Energy is moderate (307 to 210), but surf quality is still poor.
From Wednesday the 29th all the way to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a long, flat, and blown-out stretch. Swell sizes run from 1ft to 3ft, periods are short to average (5 to 9 seconds), and energy is weak to low (20 to 177). Winds are almost always cross-on, onshore, or cross-shore. The one exception is Wednesday the 5th of August morning — glassy conditions, 3ft swell from the NNW at 9 seconds, and energy at (170). It’s called "surfable but very ordinary." That’s the closest we get to a session, and it’s still small.
No real standout here. If the wind is your friend and you ride a kite, the bigger, windier days might be fun. For paddle surfing, it’s mostly a waiting game. Hang tight.
Rusty.
