Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here with the outlook for Siriu. This is a spot that's exposed to the open ocean, so it can really turn on when the stars align.

We're looking at a bit of a slow start, with the first real surfable window arriving on Friday, the 21st. The morning will be very ordinary and small, not worth getting excited about. The real story starts to build on Saturday, the 22nd. The swell will be pumping up from the south, with a solid 8ft of swell rolling in early morning. That's got some serious grunt behind it, with wave energy cranked up to 1734. The wind is blowing cross-off from the SSW, keeping the faces clean. This is a top pick for experienced surfers, as it's pushing into the "too big for beginners" territory. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.

The standout of the whole forecast is Monday morning, the 24th of August. We're looking at a very strong, long-period groundswell from the SSE, hitting 8ft with a massive 16-second period. The energy reading is a whopping 4573, which is a lot of power. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, keeping the lines clean. This is a heavy, powerful swell, so it's firmly in the expert-only zone. The long period will see the waves breaking with real authority, best handled at a point or reef setup.

Sunday the 23rd is a solid backup option. The morning is glassy with a 6ft south swell. A perfect, clean morning for a long session on a board you love.

After that Monday peak, the energy drops but remains rideable through Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. However, the wind starts to get messy, with cross and cross-onshore conditions making things choppy. By Thursday the 27th, the swell fades and the wind picks up, turning the ocean into a lumpy mess until the very end of the month.

The final week of August and into September looks very quiet. The wind stays onshore or cross-shore, the swell drops to below 5ft, and the conditions are generally poor. There's a small window on the 1st of September with a clean cross-off wind and a 6ft to 8ft swell, but the periods are short, and the energy is moderate. It's a marginal option for a paddle.

So, to sum it up: the absolute best is Monday the 24th. If you're experienced, get after it. The Saturday and Sunday before are also very good. After that, the window closes hard and the waiting game begins again.

Rusty.
