Scorpion Bay (San Juanico) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up, this is Rusty. We've got a heap of swell coming in for Scorpion Bay (San Juanico). It's not gonna be giant, but there's plenty of clean juice in the water. Water temp is around 83°F, a good few degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so it'll feel amazing.

Kicking off Monday and Tuesday, it's looking sweet. Got a solid 3ft of SSW swell with a 14-15 second period. The wave energy is moderate, in that 332-421 range, so there’s some power behind it. The point should be running with fun lines. Light cross-offshore winds will keep the face smooth. Monday morning is glassy, and the afternoons get that WNW offshore blow to groom it all up.

We'll see a bit of a lull from Wednesday through Thursday as the wind swings around to the south. It's not going to be pretty – a little cross-onshore chop and the swell sags to about 3ft. Conditions get messy, so you might want to do something else with your time. Friday is a mixed bag, with a clean dawn patrol but a strong 22 mph offshore wind by the afternoon just shredding it.

We're back into it for the weekend. Saturday and Sunday (the 22nd and 23rd) have the swell at 2-3ft with a 15-second interval. Afternoons see a fresh offshore breeze and the waves will cleanse up nicely. Keep an eye out for a possible storm, but the surf looks good.

Next week, starting Monday the 24th, we have a week of surf. It's a little smaller, dropping to 2-2ft but the clean conditions stick around. Tuesday the 25th is a standout with glassy conditions and a 16-second period, so the longboard will be firing. This carries on through Wednesday. The energy is still moderate, so it won’t be dramatic, but the shape should be good.

And now for the money shot. Starting around the 28th and into the 29th, the swell really fills in. Combined energy jumps way up into the strong range, hitting 930 and 980. Swell height builds to a solid 4ft from the SSW, and the period stays a meaty 15-16 seconds. This is the part of the forecast we've all been waiting for. Saturday the 29th looks epic. Around 4ft of clean, long-period groundswell with light offshore winds. This will be the pick of the entire run. Sunday the 30th will have more wind, but still 4ft of swell. This is getting into expert territory, so know your limits.

After that pulse, it starts to back off. Monday the 31st is still fun with 4ft of swell, but the energy is fading. By the 1st of September, we're down to 2ft by the afternoon, but with a super long 18-second period. That’ll give you some long, clean walls to finish on.

It's a cracking 16 days ahead. The clear standout is that push on the 29th and 30th. Don't miss it.

Rusty.
