Spot x Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Spot x for the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow burn at the start, but there’s some serious juice if you can wait for the right window.

The first few days are a complete bust. Friday the 11th is a cross-chop mess on a 8ft swell, not worth the walk. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are just as bad with poor conditions and strong wind. That’s a solid gap of nothing until we hit Monday the 14th.

Monday the 14th morning is the real deal. We’ve got clean, 12ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period. That’s long-period energy, and the combined power is strong at 5302. The wind is light and offshore in the morning, then glassy offshore in the afternoon. This is strictly for the experts at that size, but for them it’s going to be absolutely exceptional. Water temp is 65°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s pleasant.

Tuesday the 15th morning keeps the good times rolling with clean 10ft WSW swell and a moderate offshore breeze. Energy is still strong at 3483. Excellent for experienced surfers. The wind goes light in the afternoon, but the quality slips a bit.

Wednesday the 16th drops to a cleaner 6ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon. The afternoon is the pick for intermediates – still clean with a 13-second period. The energy is moderate (1035).

Thursday the 17th is a skunk with onshore wind and smaller swell. Skip it. Friday the 18th morning brings back a clean 8ft WSW groundswell with strong energy (3522). Good for experienced guys. The afternoon jumps to 12ft with a 17-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell, energy is massive at 6012. It’ll be powerful, but the cross-wind puts a bit of texture on it.

Saturday the 19th is a write-off again. A 16ft beast with 28 mph onshore winds. That’s a kite-surfing day, plain and simple.

Now, the standout of the second week is Sunday the 20th morning. We have a 13ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, with gentle cross-shore winds and combined energy raging at 7042. The score is a solid 7 out of 10 for the experts. The afternoon gets onshore again.

Monday the 21st offers another big 13ft SW swell, but with onshore wind – powerful but messy. Tuesday the 22nd morning is the final real highlight – clean 10ft SW swell with a cross-offshore breeze and strong energy (3944). Excellent for experienced surfers. The rest of the week fades into smaller, onshore slop. The last few days from the 24th to the 26th show some lumpy SSW swells, but the quality is too marginal to get excited about.

Bottom line: Monday the 14th is the one to mark on the calendar – clean, offshore, meaty groundswell at the reef. Tuesday the 22nd morning is your backup: clean and powerful, a little more forgiving. That long-range stuff on the 20th and 25th has potential, but the winds are a coin flip.

Rusty.
