Tsujido Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our stretch of coast.

To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and frustrating. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. From now through to about the 26th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is consistently under 2ft, the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the wave energy is bottomed out, barely reaching 47 (weak energy). It’s a real bummer.

We do get a few glassy mornings on the 20th and 21st, but with only 0.7ft to 2ft of weak, short-period slop, it’s not going to be enough to get excited about.

Then, things start to get interesting around the 27th. On Monday morning, the 27th, we see a jump in energy with a 3ft, 15-second groundswell from the south, pushing the combined energy up to 447 (moderate energy). The wind is a light cross-shore, which is promising. The afternoon sees the swell building to 5ft, but the wind turns onshore, so the morning is the call that day.

The real standout here is Tuesday, July 28th, at Tsujido Beach. We’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy jumps to 5558 (strong). The wind is a light cross-shore, keeping things clean. This is a big, powerful groundswell, so expect long, lully sets and plenty of water moving around. This is expert territory only at 10ft.

The absolute peak of the forecast, and the best on offer, is Wednesday, July 29th. A massive 23ft south swell with a 17-second period is forecast for the morning. The combined energy reading is a staggering 47937 (very strong energy). The wind is a cross-on moderate breeze, which is not ideal, but the sheer power of this swell is undeniable. However, the guidance flat-out says this is predicted to be too big for this break. This is a wild, dangerous, and potentially unrunnable day for all but the most experienced big-wave chargers at a spot that can handle it. The afternoon drops to 16ft, but stays messy.

The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is about 0.7° above average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

After that big pulse, the surf drops quickly. By the 30th and 31st, we’re back to 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is cross-on and the quality is poor. The second week of the forecast fades out into small, weak, and messy conditions.

So, to wrap it up: suffer through the flat spell. Your one true target is Tuesday morning, July 28th, for a big, clean groundswell. Wednesday the 29th is a massive, dangerous event best observed from the beach. After that, it’s back to waiting.

Rusty.
