Oi, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast for Taft (Siltetz River) is a rough one. The water is a chilly 54.5°F right now, which is 4.1°F colder than usual for this time of year, so that's a bit of a shock to the system. We're looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, there's a big fat gap of nothing good to start. The first few days are all cross/on-shore winds and chop, making it a real struggle. The best you can hope for is a few marginal windows, but nothing that'll get your heart pumping.
Let's run through it. Sunday the 5th has a 6.2ft NW swell, but with a 15.5 mph cross-shore wind, it's just a mess. Monday the 6th is similar, with a 5.9ft NW swell and a 9.3 mph cross-on breeze, giving us a "marginal" call. The combined energy hits 503 (moderate) but the quality is just not there. Tuesday the 7th drops to 3.6ft, and the wind is still on it. Wednesday the 8th sees a tiny 2.0ft swell from the SW with a long 18-second period, but the wind is cross-on, so it's a no-go. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are more of the same, with small swells and cross-winds. The best-looking window might be Wednesday morning the 16th – a 2.6ft WNW swell, 18-second period, and a light breeze. Combined energy is a strong 924 (moderate to strong), but it's still a marginal call. For a river mouth, a long-period groundswell like that can sometimes line up, but with the wind, it's a gamble.
The standout? There isn't one. Nothing here is worth paddling out for. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing with the consistent cross-shore winds than for a proper surf. For paddle surfing, it's a blank run that's pretty normal for this area when the wind is wrong. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd save the energy.
