The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for the next 16 days at San Vicente Rivermouth.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is one of those stretches where the surf is mostly a no-show. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap from the start of this forecast on Wednesday, the 29th of July, all the way through to the morning of Monday, the 10th of August. That’s nearly two weeks of flat, poor conditions. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the direction is often cross-on or onshore, just making a mess of things. It’s a real bummer, and you’d be wasting your time checking it.
Now, the water temp is sitting at about 71°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice if you’re just having a swim.
The first sign of life doesn’t appear until Monday morning, the 10th of August. We get a bit of a pulse. The swell hops up to 4ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a grounding swell, which means longer lines and better shape, but it’s a bit of a double-edged sword at a river mouth. The combined energy hits 282 (moderate) and the wind is glassy from the NNE. This is the one standout. The conditions are described as "expect good surf conditions," so it’s your best bet. The swell is just over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, and with the longer period, it might be a bit too walled for a beachy setup, but a river mouth can handle it. The crowds here are "sometimes," so you might have a few others with the same idea, but it’s worth the paddle.
After that, it drops off again. The afternoon of the 10th turns onshore, and the rest of the week slides back into tiny, weak, and messy conditions. The 11th and 12th are a write-off, with cross-offshore winds and minimal energy. By the 13th, we’re back to 1ft scraps.
So, look, if you’re desperate, you wait for that Monday morning glass-off on the 10th. That’s your only real window. Otherwise, it’s a long, dry spell.
Rusty.
