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

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening on the water for this spot.

We’ve only got one spot in the mix here: Yo Yo's-The Wedge. It’s a reef setup that’s advanced only, so don’t even think about bringing a foamie. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The overall pattern is actually pretty consistent. We’ve got swell running through most of the 16-day window starting Monday afternoon, and honestly, it’s not a bad run of surf if you know what you’re doing. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, with values ranging from around 1200 up into the 3500s, so there’s push behind these waves.

Monday afternoon kicks things off with 7ft of SSW swell at 14 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, and with a cross-off wind, it’ll be clean. Not the biggest day, but a solid start.

Tuesday drops a bit in size—5ft to 6ft—but that cross wind isn't doing it any favours; it’s going to be a bit choppy and messy.

Wednesday is where it starts to get serious. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW, period around 16 seconds. That’s a long period groundswell, and at that height, it’s expert territory. The wind is cross, so expect some chop on the face. This is a big, powerful wave—only for the confident crew.

Thursday backs off a little to 6ft–7ft, but the wind shifts to cross-off by afternoon, cleaning it right up. That afternoon session on Thursday is worth a look for sure.

Friday through Saturday stays in the 5ft to 6ft range, with that lovely cross-off wind holding. Clean, lined up, consistent. This is the kind of run you’d paddle out for.

Now, the standout window starts Sunday the 13th and runs through Monday the 14th. Sunday afternoon jumps to 8ft, 17 seconds, with cross-off wind and clean conditions. That’s a big, long-period SW groundswell with 3538 combined energy. It’s going to be powerful, straight-shooting at a reef, but the wind makes it workable for experts.

The absolute pick of the bunch, though, is Friday the 18th afternoon. You’ve got 7ft of SSW swell, 15 seconds, light breeze, cross-off wind, and clean conditions. Combined energy is 1786—moderate, not out of control—and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the session to circle.

Towards the very end, Sunday the 20th brings a pulse of 10ft SW swell with 16 seconds. That’s huge, combined energy hits 4027. It’s clean on the afternoon with cross-off wind, but this is pure big-wave territory. Only for the heavy hitters.

One thing to keep in mind: this break is very consistent, so you won’t be waiting long between sets. Longer period swells like these can sometimes break a bit straight at beach breaks, but on a reef setup like this, they’ll hold their shape nicely. The downside? Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Best overall: Friday the 18th afternoon for the perfect mix of size, wind, and cleanliness.

Rusty.
