Tsujido Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for your local shores. I’ve looked at the numbers and the truth is, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing special before we might see a glimmer of hope.

We’re looking at about two weeks of pretty flat and messy conditions. The water temp is sitting around 77°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the extra rubber just yet.

For the first week and a half, from July 15th all the way through to the morning of July 28th, there’s just no swell to speak of. Swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is almost always coming from the south or southeast, which is cross-on or onshore. The combined energy for most of these days is in the teens or twenties, which is about as weak as it gets. Thursday morning the 16th had a brief moment of clean conditions with the wind going light NE, but with a 2 ft swell and a short period of 5 seconds, it’s just a lake. Don’t get your hopes up.

The real story starts to change on the morning of July 29th. That’s a Wednesday, and it’s the first time we see some energy. The swell picks up to 4 ft from the south (S) with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy jumps to 573 – that’s moderate wave energy. The wind is light from the south at 6 mph, which is still cross-on, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s rideable for the intermediate-to-expert crowd. Because the swell is under 8 ft, it’s not just for experts, but at 4 ft, beginners might find it a little challenging. The 13-second period will give good shape, but at a beach break like Tsujido Beach, that longer period can make the waves break a bit straight. Still, it’s the best we’ve got.

Tsujido Beach is the only break on offer, and it’s a consistent spot. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so expect some company if you’re out there. The optimum swell direction is from the south, and this swell is coming from the south, so it’s a good match.

The morning of July 30th (Thursday) is a similar story – 3 ft from the SSW, 13-second period, and light south winds. The energy is still strong at 470. It’s a solid follow-up, but the afternoon kicks up a cross-on wind again, so the morning window is the one to chase.

In the end, the only standout is the morning of July 29th. It’s not world-class, but after two weeks of nothing, it’s the real deal. The long-range nature makes it promising but not locked in yet. Keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
