Biologia (Mar del Plata) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough start. The forecast is showing a big, flat gap from Friday the 7th right through until Monday the 10th. There’s just nothing on offer for days. The water is sitting at 50°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a surprise, but you won’t be feeling it with no waves.

We finally get a whisper of life on Tuesday morning the 11th at Biologia (Mar del Plata). It’s a point break, super consistent, and ideal for beginners. Tuesday morning sees a tiny 2ft swell from the SE with a long 12-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the W. The combined energy is weak (72). It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. The afternoon turns onshore and messy with a 3ft SE swell, the energy jumps to moderate (225), but the wind is rubbish, so you’re better off giving it a miss.

The rest of the week into the weekend is a write-off – tiny, short-period junk with onshore winds. You’d be kiting if you were keen on anything.

The best bet of the whole period looks to be around Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th. By Tuesday the 18th, we’ve got a 3ft E swell (10-second period) with a moderate energy (212) and clean, cross-offshore winds from the NNW. The break is clean and lookin’ tidy. Wednesday the 19th holds similar with a 4ft ESE swell and a bit more energy (246). The wind stays clean from the NW. This is the standout window – small but clean, perfect for the beginner-friendly point. It’s not big, but it’s the best we’re gonna get. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Late in the second week, on Saturday the 22nd, we see a 3ft ESE swell with a very long 14-second period and energy reaching 260 (moderate). The wind is light cross-shore. For a point break like this, that long period will bring some nice lines, but at that size, it’ll be a mellow, fun session for the longboard or a log.

So, overall, don’t expect much for the first week and a half. The only real highlight is that mid-week window around the 18th and 19th – it’s not a classic, but it’s clean and surfable. After that, things get a little more interesting towards the end, but it’s all a bit of a wait.

Rusty.
