Hey, Rusty here, takin' a look at Tijuana Sloughs.
Honestly, the next couple weeks are a bummer. We got a long stretch of small, messy surf. Right off the bat on Thursday, July 2nd, there’s a little 3ft SSW swell with a real long 17-second period, a proper groundswell, but the wind is ruinin’ it. The combined energy is moderate (446), but it’s just poor out there.
We're lookin' at a real flat spell. The first week is all tiny waves – most days just 2ft to 3ft from the SSW and SW, with periods from 14 to 18 seconds. The combined energy gets up to a moderate 960 on Tuesday the 7th, but the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, choppin' everything up. The water’s a touch warmer than average at 68°.
There’s a big gap here. From the start, it’s "poor surf conditions" straight through until Monday the 6th, when it barely escapes to "marginal," but it’s still wind-affected. The only day that almost looks okay is Thursday, July 9th. We get a 3ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, combined energy at a moderate 771, and the wind is just a light cross-onshore. It won’t be glassy, but it’s the best of a bad lot.
Then it gets worse. The second week, from the 10th of July, the swell drops to just 2ft to 3ft, and the wind never cleans up. The energy levels stay low to moderate.
This spot is a river mouth that loves a long-period SW groundswell, but you need clean glass. We ain't gettin' it. With such weak swell and crummy wind, there’s no standout. Thursday the 9th is the only one to even half look at.
A dry run like this isn’t unheard of here. Conditions can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Catch ya later,
Rusty
