Warner Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me break it down for Warner Beach over the next couple weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got something decent on Sunday morning, July 12th. It’s not huge, but early there's a glassy 4ft swell from the south with a 12-second period. That combo has some proper long-period energy – the combined energy is pushing 515, which is solid, in the moderate-to-strong range. Water temp is about average for the time of year at 71°, nothing weird going on there. It’s clean, glassy. That morning window looks like the standout for the early part of the outlook.

Sunday afternoon drops off though – wind goes cross-on, and the conditions get a bit bumpy. Monday and Tuesday see a jump in size but the wind is a problem. Monday, July 13th, is a write-off with a messy cross-shore and a short-period 5ft to 5ft swell from the ESE. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, the wind backs off and goes cross-offshore, with 6ft of east swell and a better 9-second period. That’s a clean afternoon session if you can get out. Wednesday morning, July 15th, is a bit cross, but by Wednesday afternoon we're back to glassy conditions again with 6ft of east swell and a 10-second period. That’s another nice clean window, combined energy around 583.

Thursday morning, July 16th, is glassy again with 5ft east swell, clean but smaller. The wind stays clean off the ENE. Good for a longboard or a fish.

Then things go a bit sideways from Friday, July 17th, right through the weekend. Strong onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and the quality just ain't there. The swell hangs around but it’s messy. Avoid it.

Now, here’s something that catches my eye – Sunday, July 19th, we get a solid 5ft south swell with a really long 14-second period. Combined energy at 1238! That’s proper groundswell energy. But it’s windy – a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore from the north-northeast. Despite the wind, that clean cross-off at a point setup like Warner could be okay for the experienced crew. That is the one to watch in the second week.

Then Monday, July 20th, rolls in with 7ft to 7ft of short-period ENE swell. That size is getting up there – better for experienced surfers, especially with the 8-second period making it dumpy. But the afternoon has clean cross-off conditions. Could be a heavy, punchy session if you’ve got the chops.

After that, the middle of the week dries right up. Tuesday and Wednesday, July 21st and 22nd, are poor. Small to tiny swell, strong winds, just a blank few days. Hold out.

Thursday morning, July 23rd, you get a clean cross-off but the swell is small, only 3ft. Not much to work with.

But then Friday, July 24th, we get another standout. Friday morning is glassy again, with 6ft of short-period ENE swell. Combined energy sits at 750. That’s a fun size for a beach break, but because it’s short period (7 seconds), it’ll be a bit quick and crumbly. Clean as a whistle though.

Saturday, July 25th, stays in the 7ft range but with a cross-shore wind, so it loses that clean edge.

From there, the last few days of the outlook fade out. Sunday July 26th and Monday July 27th go small and choppy again.

Overall, the best on offer: hit Sunday morning July 12th for the glassy, long-period south swell, and keep an eye on Friday morning July 24th for a clean, punchy northeast swell. Those are your windows.
