The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
So we’re looking at Scorpion Bay (San Juanico), and this one's a bit of a tease but could fire if you pick the right moment. It's a point break built for advanced surfers, but it's inconsistent, so it don't just switch on whenever. The water's a warm 80°, which is a touch above what we'd normally see for this time of year – feels good.
Kicking off Friday the 7th of August. Morning has clean 2ft of SSW groundswell with an 18-second period – that's a long period, perfect for this point. Combined wave energy is moderate at 415. Winds are light cross-offshore, so the surface will be smooth. Friday afternoon the wind goes offshore at 15 mph, swell holds at 3ft. A solid start. Saturday the 8th keeps the same vibe: 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds with light cross-off winds. Clean all day.
Sunday the 9th is a step down. Swell drops to 3ft, period shortens to 14 seconds, wind goes cross-shore. It’s ordinary, not bad, but not special. Monday the 10th morning is similar, though the afternoon shows a clean 2ft wave with a bloomin' 19-second period – could be those long, waiting-for-the-set waves.
Tuesday the 11th through Thursday the 13th is steady. Swell stays around 2-3ft from the SW with offshore or gentle cross-off winds. Combined energy is moderate. It’s clean, consistent, and workable for the experienced. Keep in mind, crowds here are a given.
Friday the 14th of August afternoon sees a jump. Swell hits 4ft from the SSW at 17 seconds, combined energy rockets to 904 – strong energy. But wind is a bit of a blast at 22 mph offshore. It'll be clean, but that strong puff makes for a trickier take-off. Good for the pros.
The best of the bunch? Saturday the 15th afternoon. You get 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, combined energy of 688, and a moderate offshore wind at 12 mph. Clean, powerful, and much more manageable. That’s the session.
After that, Sunday the 16th morning is a bit messy but the afternoon cleans up. From the 17th through the 22nd, it's a long stretch of small but clean waves: 2-3ft, periods 13-16 seconds, and plenty of light wind windows. It's not a bombe, but for a quiet point session on a longer board, it's there every day.
Real pick of the lot is Saturday the 15th afternoon. Don't sleep on it.
Rusty out.
