The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta tell ya—this next 16 days is looking pretty damn flat for waves in this spot. We’re in for a long dry spell, starting now through mid-month, with hardly anything worth waxing up for. The first two weeks have no real surf on offer, but don’t lose hope; forecasts change, and this area usually bounces back.
From August 1st onward, it’s all poor surf conditions with combined swell energy reading a big fat 0 most days. Winds are often cross-off or glassy, which would be perfect if there was any swell, but there isn’t. Water temp is about 84°, running a bit warmer than average for this time of year by about 1°, so it’s slightly above normal.
There’s a tiny flicker on Wednesday morning, August 5th, with a 0.3 ft north swell, 9-second period, and glassy conditions. Combined energy is only 2—basically nothing. On Friday morning, August 7th, what passes for the “best” session shows up: a 1 ft north-northeast swell, 9-second period, with clean offshore wind from the east-northeast at 6 mph. Combined energy is just 16. That’s tiny, but if you’re really jonesing, Tres Palmas (Rincon) might cough up a few knee-high waves for experts only on that reef.
After that, it’s back to flatness. August 12th has another 0.7 ft north-northeast swell with glassy conditions, but the energy is only 7. There’s no standout session anywhere in this 16-day window. Honestly, it’s a total bust for paddling. If you’re into kite surfing, the wind cranks up to 19 mph from the east-northeast on August 11th afternoon, but for a surfboard? Nope.
Hang in there. These flat spells happen, but they never last forever round here.
Stay loose,
Rusty
