Scorpion Bay (San Juanico) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get the rundown for you. The next couple of days are going to be a bit of a tug-of-war between the swell and the wind. Sunday looks pretty average, with some light sideshore breezes messing with the surface. It's not terrible, but it's not gonna get the heart pumping either. The water's sitting at a balmy 82°F, which is a good few degrees warmer than we usually get around here, so that's a bonus.

Monday picks up. There's a clean little SSW swell running at about 3 to 3 feet, and the breeze is starting to swing offshore. That’s when Scorpion Bay starts to wake up. It’s building, and it’s looking a whole lot better.

Tuesday is where things get real. The swell drops a touch to around 3 feet, but the period stretches out to 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, the kind that wraps around the points and draws those long lines. The morning wind is light and cross-off, perfect for a clean surface. The afternoon gets a bit more blowy, but you can still find some fun ones.

Wednesday and Thursday keep that same rhythm. The offshore winds are solid, keeping the faces glassy out at Scorpion Bay (San Juanico). You’re going to be trading a little bit of size for shape, but with that consistency, I’d call it a fair deal.

Now, Friday the 14th. That’s the one. Circle it. The morning is looking spot-on for a solid 4-foot SSW groundswell with a 17-second period. The wind is light offshore, and the energy is humming at a 723. That's where it all comes together. The Bay will be lit up. Expect a few people out, but with that light wind and long, peeling waves, it’ll be worth every minute of the paddle. The afternoon breeze gets a bit stronger, but the morning is a gift.

Saturday is still holding on. Similar size with clean conditions first thing, another strong contender. Just watch for that wind to pick up later in the day.

After that, the ocean takes a little nap for a few days. The waves stay ridable, but the spark is gone. From Monday the 17th through Thursday the 20th, we're looking at a lull. There’s still some energy, but it gets weak, and those side-shore winds start messing with the texture. It's not flat, but it's not exactly calling your name.

Then, from Friday the 21st to the end of the forecast, we get another push. It's not as big as that Friday the 14th swell, but those longer periods are back (13-19 seconds), which is a good sign. The winds favor us more often than not, so there should be some clean, rippable waves to close out the window.

So, there you have it. A slow start, a couple of killer days around the 14th and 15th, a bit of a pause, then a solid finish. Choose your days wisely.

Rusty.
