Uchizuma Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Uchizuma over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a sweet little window to kick things off. Monday morning, July 13th, is the pick of the early days. We’re looking at a solid 5ft SSW swell ticking over with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is sitting at a solid 707 (moderate). The wind is glassy, dead calm from the SE at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. The water temp is doing its usual thing for this time of year, nothing wild to report. Uchizuma can be a bit inconsistent, and the crowds are only sometimes an issue, so Monday morning is your best bet for a proper session with some decent power.

Monday afternoon drops a little to 5ft, still glassy, still good, but the energy dips to 471. Still a fun session, just not quite as punchy.

Tuesday morning, July 14th, the swell backs off to 3ft, but it’s still glassy. You’ll get a wave, but it’s ordinary. Tuesday afternoon gets onshore, and from there we hit a bit of a flat spell. Wednesday and Thursday are small and weak, with the energy dropping below 110. Friday morning is tiny, and by Friday afternoon a long-period 16-second ESE swell appears at 3ft, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a messy proposition. That whole stretch from Tuesday afternoon through to Saturday morning, July 18th, is pretty marginal. Not worth paddling out for.

Saturday and Sunday, July 18th-19th, see a bit more size but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so the quality is poor. The energy picks up a bit, but it’s not clean.

Now, here’s the standout to keep an eye on. Monday morning, July 20th, brings a 5ft ESE swell with an 11-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is a solid 512 (moderate). That’s a very clean, fun-sized wave for Uchizuma. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be smooth. Tuesday morning, July 21st, is also looking clean with 4ft ESE swell and glassy wind, energy at 313. That’s another good one. Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is still glassy with 3ft, but it’s a bit smaller.

After that, the second week drops off. Thursday, July 23rd, and Friday, July 24th, are small again, with energy under 150. The weekend of July 25th-26th has some very long-period 16-second swells, but they’re tiny at 1ft. Long period and small size means long waits between sets—more of a novelty than a proper session. The wind is glassy on Saturday morning, but the wave just isn’t there.

The last day, Tuesday, July 28th, gives you a tiny 2ft S swell with a clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s barely surfable.

So, the long and short of it: Monday, July 13th morning is the absolute standout. Glassy, 5ft, nice and clean. Monday, July 20th morning is the next best bet, with 5ft and glassy conditions. Everything else is either flat, windy, or just too small to get excited about. The gap between July 14th afternoon and July 20th morning is a long stretch of mostly poor conditions, so don’t plan a trip around that.

Rusty out.
