Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, and I've been looking over the numbers for Siriu. It's been a bit quiet, but the juice is coming.

The first real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, the 8th of August. There's a 6ft groundswell from the SSE, with a long period of 14 seconds and a solid kick of energy (combined energy of 1192). The wind is a light cross from the north, so it's a start, but not perfect. Sunday afternoon sees a bigger 8ft swell from the south, with an 11-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. It's a step up in size, but the conditions are still a little raw.

Now, the standout. Monday the 10th of August. First light, you'll see 8ft of S swell, a 13-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is a massive 3233 – that's a lot of power. This is the best on offer for the first week. The water is about 67°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

Tuesday the 11th is a close second. The swell drops to 6ft, but the wind goes glassy. Absolutely flat calm. That's a beautiful thing – you'll get clean, smooth faces all morning. The SSE swell is still holding a 13-second period, so the waves will have shape and grunt.

Things quieten down after that. Thursday the 14th still has clean 5ft swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is fading. By Sunday the 16th, it's poor, with strong cross-onshore winds and a messy surface. We'll have a few days of not much.

Then, a long-range look. Mark your calendar for Tuesday the 18th of August. The forecast is promising but not locked in. We see a 7ft swell from the ENE, but with a short 8-second period. However, the wind is forecast to be glassy again. That's a big if for a short-period swell, but if it holds, it could be a fun morning.

The real brute shows up on Thursday the 20th of August. A 13ft S swell with a 12-second period and a combined energy of 6988. That is enormous. The wind is forecast to be light in the morning, but the swell is far too big for this spot – it's a day for the experts only. Everyone else stays on the sand.

Friday the 21st sees the swell drop to 8ft from the SSE, but the wind is onshore and messy. It's a rough finish.

If you're a beginner, look at the 14th of August – 5ft with clean conditions is a good spot to learn. For the experienced crew, Monday the 10th is the one to go for. The 20th of August is for the brave. Siriu is a fairly consistent break, so these windows are reliable, but those long-range bigger days are always a bit of a gamble.

Rusty out.
