Tsujido Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at a warm 82°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first few days will be a bit of a grind as we wait for the ocean to sort itself out. There’s a long stretch of marginal conditions ahead, but if you’re patient, there’s a window that looks worth paddling out for.

The best bet on offer is Saturday morning, the 8th of August, at Tsujido Beach. We’ve got a 4ft swell pushing in from the SSW with a solid 13-second period, meaning there’s plenty of energy in the water (combined energy of all swells at 574). The wind is forecast to be glassy, coming from the SE at just 3 mph, which is about as clean as it gets. This is a fairly exposed spot, and with that long period groundswell, it’s going to wrap in nicely. It’s an intermediate-level wave, so keep that in mind, but conditions are set up for some really fun, clean waves. Keep an eye out for crowds, as they can show up sometimes.

Now, before that, we’ve got a few days of iffy conditions. Wednesday the 5th afternoon through Friday the 7th afternoon is mostly cross-on or choppy, with swell heights around 6ft to 7ft but with a lot of wind messing it up. The energy is high—over 2100 on Wednesday—but it's just not clean enough to get excited about. The combo of a long period swell and cross-onshore wind means it'll be lumpy and hard to read.

After Saturday morning’s glassy session, the surf drops off fast. From Sunday the 9th through to just after the middle of the month, the waves go really small—mostly under 3ft—and the wind is often strong and messy. There’s a big gap of poor surf from the 9th all the way to the 19th of August, with only tiny, weak energy and poor conditions. The combined energy drops down to as low as 37, so it's basically flat. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which keeps the surface clean but there’s just no push.

Then, around Thursday the 20th of August, we start to see a pulse of life again. The swell picks up to 5ft from the S with a 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps up to 646. The wind is light from the ENE at 6 mph, which is a cross-shore and will keep things relatively clean. It’s still a bit of a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet. The periods are moderate, so it’ll have some shape.

Overall, if you’re keen to get wet, point your board towards Saturday morning, the 8th of August. That’s the standout. The rest of the fortnight is mostly a write-off for paddle surfing, though. If you’ve got a kite, those blustery days with strong cross-off winds and decent energy might be your thing instead.

Rusty.
