Triangulo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in with a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks around Triangulo.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – the first week is a bit of a grind. We've got swell, but it's tangled up with cross and cross-onshore winds for the most part, keepin' things choppy and pretty average. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a massive 9° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's wild, feels like a warm bath out there.

The first real chance to get a clean one starts to show up around Thursday, August 6th. The afternoon session sees the wind finally switch to a cross-offshore breeze, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is coming from the SW at 4 ft with a solid 16-second period, packing a good amount of punch with a combined wave energy of 885. That's some proper groundswell, so the longer waits between sets will be worth it for those clean lines.

The standout of the whole run, though, is shaping up to be the morning of August 11th (Tuesday). We've got a 3 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore – clean. The energy is strong (848). This is a point break reef setup, so that long-period energy is right in its wheelhouse. It won't be huge, but it'll be quality.

Another one to circle on the calendar is the morning of Friday, August 14th. The wind drops to glassy – dead calm – with a nice 4 ft SW swell and a 16-second period. The combined energy is strong (712). If you want silky, smooth waves with no wind bumps, that's your session. Just keep an eye on the tide.

Crowds here are listed as "often," so don't expect to have the place to yourself on those cleaner days. And remember, this break is rated as "inconsistent," so the good ones might not roll through all the time.

Alright, that's the story for now. The second week has a few more marginal calls, but those couple of mornings are where it's at. Get on 'em if you can.
