Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks. Honestly, the surf forecast for Taft (Siltetz River) is looking pretty grim for the most part. There’s a lot of onshore and cross-shore wind messing things up, and the swell’s not really lining up well for quality waves. The water temp is sitting at 54.3°, which is about 4.1° colder than average for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so bring a thicker suit if you’re heading out.
The few highlights are really just moments when things might be rideable. The best chance for something decent looks like Wednesday morning, July 8th. That morning, we’ve got glassy conditions, dead calm wind from the SSW at 3.1 mph, which is a winner for clean faces. There’s moderate wave energy of 624 with a 4.6 ft swell coming from the WNW, period of 8 seconds. It’s not gonna be a super long ride, but with that glass, it’ll be your best shot at a fun session without getting beaten up by chop.
The rest of the first week and into the second is mostly a write-off. From Thursday afternoon, July 2nd, right through to Saturday, July 11th, there’s literally no surf that scores above a marginal call. Most days are just “poor surf conditions” with cross-onshore breezes and choppy water. Sunday morning, July 12th, offers a little 3.6 ft WNW swell with a light cross-onshore wind, but it’s still not clean enough to get excited about.
For the second week, things don’t really improve. The swell sticks around 2.0 ft to 3.6 ft, mostly from the west or WNW, but the wind stays cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface messy. There’s a long-period swell on Wednesday, July 15th, with a 19-second interval from the WNW, but it’s only 2.0 ft – that’s a long wait between sets for barely a ripple. Friday afternoon, July 17th, sees a stronger combined energy of 1068, but with 15.5 mph crosswinds and a 3.3 ft swell, it’s still not what you’d call good.
Honestly, if you’ve got other options, I’d wait for a better window. The river mouth setup isn’t doing anyone any favours with this pattern. Stay patient, mate.
