Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Siriu over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no shocks there. The early part of the run is a bit of a slow starter, but there’s a real good pulse of energy building for the second week that’s got my attention.

Thursday the 23rd morning kicks things off with a clean 3ft swell from the ENE, period at 8 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate (214). It’s not pumping, but it’s a fun little beginner-friendly wave. The afternoon turns a bit messy with stronger wind, so the morning is the move.

Friday the 24th morning sees a bump up to 5ft from the SSE, still with a light cross-off, and the energy is moderate (365). It’s a bit more push, but nothing crazy. The afternoon gets a cross shore wind, making it a little bumpy.

Now, Saturday the 25th morning is the real standout of the first week. We’ve got glassy conditions, not a breath of wind, with a 5ft SE swell and an 8-second period. The energy is moderate (380). That’s clean, fun, and perfect for a long session. This is the pick of the early days.

Sunday the 26th drops off a bit, with a smaller 3ft SSE swell but a longer 12-second period. The energy is still moderate (397). The wind goes cross shore, so it’s a bit more tricky. The rest of the week through to the 31st is mostly small, weak, and inconsistent, with energy dropping to as low as 83. There’s a few glassy moments, like Tuesday the 28th afternoon and Wednesday the 29th morning, but the swell is tiny (1ft to 2ft). It’s a real flat spell.

Then we get a gap with no real recommendations until the 1st of August. Saturday the 1st morning brings a 5ft ENE swell at 7 seconds, with a clean cross-off wind and moderate energy (218). It’s a slight uptick, but the real magic shows up on Sunday the 2nd afternoon. The swell jumps to 8ft from the S with a 10-second period, and it’s glassy. The combined energy rockets to 2243 (strong). That’s big, powerful, and clean. This one is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners.

Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th keep the size going with big, long-period SSE and SE swells (13-14 seconds), with energy in the thousands (1519 and 1139). The wind stays cross-off, so it’s clean, but again, these are expert-only waves at 6ft to 7ft. The long period (over 15 seconds isn’t here, but 13-14 seconds is still a proper groundswell) will make the waves more powerful and better shaped, but it’ll also mean longer lulls between sets.

The run tapers off after the 4th, with the swell dropping and the wind getting messy through to the 7th. The 7th of August morning does offer a clean, small 3ft ENE swell, but the energy is moderate (333).

So, the best on offer? Without a doubt, the Saturday 25th morning for the clean, glassy, fun-sized waves, and the Sunday 2nd afternoon for the big, powerful, clean groundswell for the experts. The energy at the end of the first week is weak, but the second week really delivers. Keep an eye on that window.

Rusty.
