The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s coming our way. Straight up, this 16-day stretch is a real bummer. We’ve got a massive gap of nothing right at the start – from Monday the 10th all the way into the middle of the week starting the 17th, there’s just no surf worth mentioning. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak – numbers like 28, 18, even down to 1 – and the report calls it “poor surf conditions” every single time. That’s about 8 to 9 days of flatness.
The first glimmer shows up Monday afternoon the 17th at Vilano Jetty. A little bump of 2ft from the east-southeast, short period of 8 seconds, and combined energy hits 100 (moderate). Winds are light and cross-off from the south-southwest, so it’s clean. Still just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so it’s nothing to write home about, but after a long flat spell, a 2ft clean wave is a reason to grab your board. Tuesday morning the 18th looks similar with 1ft and a clean cross-off breeze.
The one day that stands out above the rest is Saturday the 22nd. We get a jump in size to 4ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon from the northeast, period at 6 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, but the combined energy is 121 and 142 – that’s the most push we’ll see all outlook. The catch is the wind: cross-onshore all day, starting light from the east then turning into a gentle breeze. That’ll chop it up a bit, but for this area, that’s the biggest, most energetic swell of the whole run. 4ft is getting into the range where beginners might feel out of their depth, but intermediate surfers will have some fun on it.
After that, the following week fades fast. Sunday the 23rd morning gives us 2ft from the northeast with light cross-off wind and moderate energy (73), clean but small. By Monday the 24th it’s back to 1ft dribble. The very last day, Tuesday the 25th, is glassy but with only 0.6ft – not worth the hassle.
Bottom line: wait out the first ten days, then pencil in Saturday the 22nd as your best shot. It won’t be perfect, but it’s the most size and energy we’re going to get.
