The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be your local surf reporter Rusty and give you the straight-up outlook for Son Serra Nova.
Right off the bat, I gotta be real with you—there’s a long dry spell coming. We’re looking at over a week of next to nothing before we finally get a pulse. The first real chance of waves doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, August 8th. Before that, from Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through Friday the 7th of August, it’s flat or tiny junk—hardly enough to pop up on. A few mornings might have glassy conditions but with zero swell, there’s nothing to ride.
The one standout in this whole 16-day window is Saturday morning, August 8th at Son Serra Nova. That morning we’ve got a glassy start with clear skies and a light west wind—dead calm. The swell comes up to about 6.9 ft from the NNE with a period around 7 seconds. It’s not a long-period groundswell, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but the energy reading is moderate (431). That’s the most juice we see in the whole forecast. This break is a reef setup, so the NE groundswell should wrap in okay, but it’s also an exposed spot and rarely breaks, so this is a rare little pulse. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” so I’d be on it. Water temp is running about 83.1°F, which is 5.2° warmer than usual for this time—definitely noticeable. You won’t need a spring suit.
Saturday afternoon the wind swings east and picks up, creating some cross-shore chop and the swell drops a touch to 6.2 ft, which is more marginal. Sunday the 9th has clean offshore winds in the morning but the swell plummets to 1.6 ft and it’s back to small weak stuff. After that, it’s another flat run through to the end of the outlook on Thursday the 13th of August.
Bottom line: if you’re jonesing for a wave, your only real shot is the early hours of Saturday August 8th. After that, the taps shut off again.
