Table - best surf conditions forecast for Scorpion Bay (San Juanico) over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here with the skinny on Scorpion Bay over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off – this place is a proper point, and when it lines up, it’s magic. The swell is inconsistent as always, so we’re looking at windows rather than a solid run. First few days from Friday 10th through Monday 13th are gonna be small but clean – around 3.3 ft of SSW swell, mostly cross-off or offshore winds, so you’ll get some long, lined-up walls but not a lot of push. The energy is moderate (combined energy in the 400–500 range). It’s rideable for the advanced crew, but nothing to get overly excited about. Tuesday 14th drops further to 1.6–2.0 ft with a super long 18-second period, which can make the wave a bit too straight for the beach sections, but on the point it’ll still offer some slow, peeling rights if you’re patient. Then Wednesday 15th through Thursday 16th are pretty ordinary – tiny and weak (energy down to 200–250).
Now, the real standout comes on Friday 17th July. The morning starts glassy with 3.0 ft S swell (14s), but the afternoon is where it’s at: 4.3 ft of S groundswell, period 13 seconds, and a gentle offshore WNW breeze at 9 mph. That’s clean, lined-up, and the energy jumps to 702 – solid moderate. This is your best shot for good shape and a few longer rides. It’s an advanced break, and crowds are always a factor here, so get in early or be ready to share. The swell direction is S, not perfect for the optimum SSW, but close enough that the point will still handle it nicely.
Then Saturday 18th July has a tricky morning – 6.2 ft of SSW swell with a 12-second period and a moderate cross-off SW
