Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, folks, Rusty here – Imperial version for you. Trestles (Uppers) is looking at a mostly quiet spell. Water temp is running a touch warmer than normal, about 68°F, which is roughly 3°F above average, so that's a nice little treat. But the surf? Small and struggling. Combined wave energy is moderate (530 to 855 range), but the swell is coming from the SSW, not the preferred W, so the shape won't be that classic point. The standout window is Sunday July 12 afternoon when the wind goes glassy – dead calm, zero chop. Swell is only 3ft from the SSW at 14 seconds – a long-period groundswell that'll wrap in clean. That's your best bet, but be prepared for crowds – this break is always jammed. From Monday July 6 through Saturday July 11, it's mostly marginal to poor: choppy cross-onshore winds and tiny ripples. After Sunday, the next week gets even smaller – swell under 2ft, energy dropping below 300. There's a faint glimmer on Monday July 20 afternoon with 3ft SSW at 16 seconds and light cross-onshore, but nothing to write home about. If you're not on that glassy Sunday, it's more of a kite-surfing setup with all the side wind and small surf.
