The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be real – I've looked at the forecast for the next 16 days, and I gotta tell you, it's a tough stretch. The swell is essentially non-existent for the entire period. We're looking at a long, flat run with no real surf to speak of. The only break on the radar is the legendary Tres Palmas (Rincon), but even that heavyweight is sitting this one out.
For the first few days, from the morning of the 28th of July, all the way through, it's a ghost town. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a big fat zero (0). There's nothing to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at a normal 83.8°, but that's about the only thing that's normal.
We see a few tiny pulses – a 0.3 ft wave here, a 0.7 ft wave there – but they're all "poor surf conditions" with zero scores. The swell periods are short and the energy is pathetic, barely reaching double digits (like 15 on the 12th of August). The wind looks good at times, glassy or offshore, but there's no swell to work with. It's a cruel tease.
So here's the hard truth: there's nothing to recommend. The best advice I can give is to put the board away, check the cams, and wait for a change. The forecast can always shift, but as it stands now, this is a blank run. It's a bit of a normal thing for this area during a summer lull, but it doesn't make it any easier.
Hang in there.
