Yo Yo's-The Wedge Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get this out there. We’re looking at Yo Yo's-The Wedge, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. The swell’s going to be there, but the wind and the shape are going to keep things from ever really firing. It’s a reef setup, so it’s not a complete write-off, but you’re going to need to pick your moments.

The water’s sitting right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The swell is coming in from the southwest, which is what this break wants to see.

We start things off on Friday the 4th. There’s a 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is a cross-offshore. The energy is moderate at 799, but honestly, it’s looking a bit marginal. The tide might be messing with it.

Saturday the 5th brings a bit more size, with 7ft SSW swell in the morning. But the wind is straight cross, and that’s going to put a chop on it. The afternoon cleans up a bit as the wind goes cross-off, and the swell bumps up to 6ft with a longer 16-second period. The energy is building, hitting 1743. This is looking like the better part of the weekend.

Sunday the 6th is similar, with 7ft SSW swell, but the cross-wind stays on it all day, keeping the surface messy. Energy is up around 1900, but it’s not going to be pretty.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th keep the 7ft+ SSW swell coming, but the wind stays cross. Tuesday afternoon, the period jumps to 18 seconds and the energy gets strong at 3536, but that cross-chop is still there.

Wednesday the 9th sees the biggest swell of this run, hitting 8ft in the morning. This is getting into expert territory, and with the cross-wind, it’s going to be a handful. Energy is very strong at 3336.

The rest of the week into the 14th sees the swell hover in the 6ft to 7ft range. The wind is mostly cross, but we get a few windows of cross-off in the afternoons, like on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, which will clean it up.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. Sunday the 13th. We’ve got a 7ft SW swell with 18-second period in the morning, and the wind is only a gentle cross. But the real standout is the afternoon. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SW with a 17-second period, and the wind goes cross-off. The energy is massive at 3859. This is the best on offer for the whole run, but it’s still rating as just “marginal” in the data, so it’s not going to be perfect, but it’s the biggest and cleanest we’ll see.

After that, from Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th, we have consistent 5ft to 7ft SW swell with cross-off winds in the afternoons. It’s consistent, but nothing special. Energy is moderate to strong.

Then, Thursday the 17th. The wind drops right out. Morning has a light cross breeze, and the afternoon goes cross-off with only a gentle breeze, giving us that glassy, clean surface. The swell is 6ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. It’s not huge, but the conditions are going to be tidy. This is when I’d want to be out there.

The last few days, the 18th and 19th, show the swell easing off a bit on Friday, down to 4ft, then building again to 8ft on Saturday afternoon with a cross-off wind.

So, to sum it up: there are waves for the whole period, but you’re going to be working for them. The standout window is Sunday the 13th afternoon for pure size and power. For a cleaner, more user-friendly session, keep an eye on Thursday the 17th afternoon. It won't be perfect, but it's got the best combo of clean conditions and rideable swell.

Rusty out.
