The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Son Serra Nova.
To be brutally honest, this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is looking pretty grim. There’s a real lack of any decent swell, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, which is the last thing you want for a reef set-up like Son Serra Nova. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and when it does, it needs a very specific swell direction from the NNE to work. The first few days are a total write-off with tiny waves and poor conditions. There’s a bit of a bump around the 26th and 27th of July, but with strong onshore winds, it’s messy and blown out. The energy is there – we see the combined swell energy hit 381 (moderate) on Sunday afternoon and 443 (moderate) Monday afternoon – but the wind is ruining it. For a reef break, you need it clean, and it’s not.
Honestly, don’t bother with the first week. Even the glassy mornings later on, like the 30th of July or the 4th of August, there’s just no swell to ride. It’s flat. The second week is a near-continuous gap of nothing. There’s a tiny pulse of glassy 2ft swell from the north early on the 6th of August, but it’s a weak, short-period swell (6 seconds) with low energy (25). It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still nothing to get excited about. The water is currently much warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at 84°, but that’s about the only positive.
So, for the real standout? There isn’t one. This is a blank run. For a spot that rarely breaks, it’s not unusual to see a long stretch with nothing. If you're desperate for a paddle, maybe the glassy 2ft on the morning of the 6th of August might give you a slippery knee-high wave, but don’t hold your breath. The best advice is to find something else to do.
Rusty.
