Spot x Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up at Spot x. This is a reef break, very consistent, exposed to the swell, and it loves a good WSW direction. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about normal for this time of year—nothing unusual there.

Right now, it’s a bit of a write-off. Sunday the 13th is a no-go: messy cross-on wind at 16 mph and solid 10 ft to 12 ft swell, but it’s just poor surf conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 14th morning though, that’s where things start to turn. We’ve got a light ESE breeze at 6 mph, cross-off, cleaning up a 12 ft WSW swell with a 14-second period. This is excellent for experienced surfers—the combined swell energy is strong at 4752. It’s big, so not for beginners, but for those who can handle it, the wave quality will be there.

Tuesday the 15th morning is a standout. Clear skies, gentle offshore wind from ENE at 9 mph, and a 10 ft SW swell at 14 seconds. The combined energy is 3665, which is strong. Conditions are excellent for experienced surfers—clean, well-shaped waves. This is the pick of the first week.

Wednesday the 16th is still good. Morning has a moderate offshore NE wind at 16 mph with 6 ft SW swell, and afternoon gets lighter with a 5 ft SW swell. Both sessions are clean and excellent for experienced surfers, with combined energy in the 1049 to 1299 range—moderate to strong.

Thursday the 17th drops off a bit. Cross-shore wind and 5 ft WSW swell at 14 seconds, but it’s marginal and choppy. Not worth chasing.

Friday the 18th morning has rain showers and a fresh NNE wind at 19 mph, cross-off, with 8 ft WSW swell at 11 seconds. It’s marginal. But the afternoon is a gem: moderate offshore NE wind at 12 mph, 10 ft WSW swell with a long 16-second period, and combined energy at 4773. That’s excellent for experienced surfers. The long period will make the waves powerful and well-shaped at this reef.

Saturday the 19th is a mess. Strong onshore wind, 10 ft swell, poor conditions. Skip it.

Sunday the 20th has 12 ft SW swell but cross-shore and cross-on wind, so it’s marginal and choppy. Not great.

Monday the 21st is similar—big 12 ft SW swell with 16-second period, but fresh cross-shore wind keeps it lumpy.

Now, Tuesday the 22nd is another real standout. Clear skies, gentle offshore wind from E at 9 mph, and 12 ft SW swell at 14 seconds. Combined energy is 4310, strong. Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The morning and afternoon both look clean and well-shaped.

Wednesday the 23rd morning is also excellent: some clouds, gentle offshore NE wind at 9 mph, 10 ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period, combined energy at 4922. The afternoon has a 12 ft SW swell with a 17-second period—that’s very long period groundswell, and combined energy is massive at 7659. Conditions are marginal due to light cross-on wind, but that swell is so powerful it could still produce some memorable waves at this reef. This is a potential highlight for the second week.

Thursday the 24th morning has rain showers and a moderate NNW cross-shore wind, with 13 ft SW swell at 16 seconds. That’s huge—only for experts. Combined energy is 7147, very strong. Afternoon goes onshore and poor.

From Friday the 25th through Saturday the 27th morning, it’s mostly poor to marginal with strong winds and messy conditions. Not much to get excited about.

Then Sunday the 27th afternoon brings a surprise: a 18 ft WNW swell at 12 seconds, with a gentle ESE cross-off breeze at 9 mph. Combined energy is 9296—that’s extremely strong. Conditions are marginal, but for experts, this could be a huge, clean session. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Monday the 28th morning has a fresh offshore ENE wind at 19 mph with 15 ft WSW swell at 13 seconds, combined energy 6495. Marginal but clean. The afternoon is excellent for experienced surfers: moderate offshore ENE wind, 12 ft WSW swell at 12 seconds, combined energy 3219.

Best on offer: Tuesday the 15th morning and Tuesday the 22nd morning. Both have clean offshore wind, solid 10 ft+ SW swell with good period, and excellent conditions. Wednesday the 23rd afternoon and Sunday the 27th afternoon are wildcards with huge swell and potential for serious waves—if you’re experienced and the wind plays ball.

Rusty.
