Scar Reef Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the coming weeks. We've got a solid run of surf on the cards, so let's get into it.

This is all about Scar Reef – it's a sheltered reef and point, and right now it's firing. The water's sitting at a warm 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Wind is looking like a major player in our favor, with offshore conditions locking in for a big stretch starting this afternoon.

The action kicks off Sunday morning (July 5th). It's glassy, dead calm, with a clean 6ft SSW groundswell pushing in at 15 seconds. The energy is solid (1483). This is the kind of session you dream about. That glassy, morning window with no wind is a gift.

The run stays strong through the week. Wednesday (July 8th) and Thursday (July 9th) are the true standouts here. Swell is pumping up to 7ft from the SSW, period holding at a long 15 seconds, and those clean, offshore winds are locked in. The energy is surging into the very strong range (2043 and 2096). This is big, powerful reef surf – definitely for the experienced crew only.

There's a solid stretch of good waves all the way through until the weekend of the 11th to 12th, where we see a drop in size down to 3ft and the energy fades to moderate (425). The wind stays favorable, so it's not a write-off, just smaller.

Looking further ahead, things pick up again. Monday, July 13th afternoon sees a jump back to 5ft with a very long 19-second period, and that’s followed by Tuesday, July 14th morning which delivers another excellent pulse of 7ft SSW swell, with very strong energy (2658) and clean offshore wind. Again, that's expert territory.

The pattern settles back into a fun, consistent groove for the second week, with clean 5ft to 6ft SSW swells holding period in the 14-15 second range. By Sunday, July 19th, we’re back to a very good 6ft SW swell. The whole run is persistent and clean. A really solid forecast.

Rusty out.
