Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Siriu.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off. The first real call to get wet is Monday afternoon. It’s not big, but it’s clean. Light rain, glassy conditions, and a small SSE swell around 3.6 ft. The period is a solid 10 seconds, so there’s some shape. The energy’s moderate (421). It’ll be a fun session for a beginner on a log or a foiler.

Tuesday morning the swell picks up. We’re looking at a 6.2 ft south swell with a short 8-second period. That’s a lot of juice – the energy reading is 816 – but it’s short interval, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and fat. The wind is cross-offshore from the SSW at 15 mph, so it will be clean. This one is pushing the limits for beginners; over 5 ft is getting serious for the less experienced.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Saturday the 11th of July. Morning session. Siriu will be under cloudy skies with glassy wind – absolute magic. The swell is a 4.6 ft ESE groundswell with a long 13-second period. That’s proper energy (701) and it’s coming from the east, which is the optimum direction for this break. It’s not too big, it’s clean, and it’ll have some push. This is the best wave of the first week.

Sunday the 12th is a mixed bag. The morning is clean and cross-off with a 3.3 ft ESE swell, but the afternoon jumps up to a 7.2 ft south swell with a short period and onshore wind. That afternoon is messy and too big for anyone but the brave ones.

The following week has another highlight. Monday the 13th of July morning: a 5.6 ft south swell, cross-off wind, and an energy reading of 1256. That’s strong. The file says excellent conditions for experienced surfers, and that’s the truth. The afternoon gets roasted by a 22 mph wind, so don’t bother.

Then, Friday the 17th of July morning: another excellent call. A 5.9 ft south swell with a very long 13-second period. Glassy conditions, light wind, energy at 1231. This is a proper groundswell for the experienced crew. It’ll be clean and powerful.

Overall, the best of the best is Saturday the 11th morning – that glassy, 4.6 ft east groundswell is just perfect for a fun session with clean lines. The back-up is Monday the 13th morning for the bigger, more powerful stuff.

A note about the water: it’s currently running much colder than normal for this time of year – about 60.6°F, which is 5.6°F colder than average. That’s very unusual, so you’ll want a thicker suit or a hood.

That’s the outlook from here. Keep your eyes on the horizon and your wax on.
