Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for Zumaya over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a quiet spell. The water's turned out much warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at a balmy 75°F, which is a solid 8°F warmer than average. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf. The first good news doesn't even pop up until Monday afternoon, the 6th of July. Early on, the swell's tiny and the wind’s messy. But Monday afternoon, the wind goes *glass* and we get some 2ft waves from the NW at 9 seconds. The energy is weak, sitting at (63), but it'll be clean enough for a beginner to get wet. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th offer similar glimpses: glassy mornings with 2ft to 2ft waves, but again, the combined energy is very low (51 and 68), so it’s strictly longboard or foiling territory.
After that, the wind turns onshore again and things go flat for another week. There is a bit of a pulse showing up for Friday the 17th, with the swell pushing up to 4ft from the WNW, and energy hitting (258). But the wind is light and onshore or cross-onshore, so the quality will be average.
If I have to pick a standout, it’s a toss-up between those glassy windows for absolute beginners. For the more experienced crew, the best bet is likely the morning of Saturday the 18th. The sea state is glassy, the swell is a clean 4ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the energy is moderate (153). It's not going to win any awards, but it'll be the most fun you'll have all fortnight. Keep your expectations in check though – this is a mellow stretch.
Rusty.
