The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Son Serra Nova. I won’t sugarcoat it – we’re staring down a long, flat spell. This reef break is known for being inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. For the first week or so, from late July right through early August, it’s a total dud. Tiny, unrideable waves and poor conditions. Water temp is about average for the season.
The first sign of life comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. A tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNW with a period of just 4 seconds shows up, but it's still classed as poor. The combined energy is a weak 3. It’s clean with a light offshore wind, but it’s barely a ripple.
Friday afternoon, August 7th, we get a small but surfable pulse. A 4ft NNE swell with a 6-second period rolls in. The combined energy hits a weak 90. The wind goes glassy out of the NW at 5 km/h, so the surface will be clean. The optimum direction for this spot is NNE, so this is right from the sweet spot. It’s your first legit wave of the whole run.
The standout, and the only big moment, is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. We get a solid push of 7ft from the NNE, period at 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 630, and the forecast says to expect very good surf conditions. Wind is a light SSW offshore at 5 km/h, keeping it clean. That’s a solid head-high to nearly double-overhead wave. For a break that “rarely breaks,” a clean 7ft NNE swell is a rare treat. The period is a bit short, but the direction is perfect. That size is getting into intermediate territory, and anything over 8ft is for experts only – this is right on the edge.
After that, it fades back to poor, choppy, onshore junk for the rest of the two weeks.
So, for an inconsistent reef, this is a very narrow window. Your play is Friday evening for a small, glassy wave, but the real dawn patrol mission is Saturday, August 8th, before the wind fouls it up. Expect a crowd, as “sometimes” turns into “everyone” when a proper swell hits a spot like this.
Rusty.
