The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty quiet out there for the next couple of weeks. We're in a real flat spell.
Alright, let's start with the only name on the list: Silver Strand. This advanced sandbar break is fairly exposed to the west-northwest, which is its optimum direction, but we just aren't getting any love from the ocean.
For the first week, from Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July, it's a write-off. We're seeing tiny swells, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, with short periods and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined wave energy is weak, not enough to push a sea lion around. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 69°, but that's little consolation.
There's a glimmer of nothing on the 31st of July, with a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW showing minimal energy. Basically, zero. This lean spell drags on through the first week of August. We see a few little pulses of energy around the 3rd of August – a 2ft SSW swell with a period of 11 seconds – but it's still accompanied by poor conditions and onshore wind.
Honestly, there is no standout. There is nothing to recommend in this entire 16-day outlook. It's a tough stretch for paddle surfing; the setup here would be more interesting for kite surfing given the persistent wind and small chop. Hang in there, forecasts can change. Rusty.

Information about the Silver Strand Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Silver Strand provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Silver Strand can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Silver Strand surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Silver Strand) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Silver Strand may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Silver Strand is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Port Hueneme. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Hueneme. Port Hueneme has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
