The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. The next couple weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, a real test of patience. We’ve got a lot of junky, wind-blown days ahead before the ocean finally decides to show us its teeth. Don’t rush it.
We’re looking at Boca del Abajo (Canary Islands) as the main spot. Water temp’s about 74°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Monday morning has a tiny glimmer of hope. Clean 4ft swell from the NNE with a short 8-second period. Wind is glassy, which is a huge plus, but the energy is weak. It’s small, maybe a fun little longboard wave if you’re desperate, but nothing more.
From Monday afternoon through the following Saturday, it’s just onshore junk. Wind from the north and northeast blowing 10 to 22 mph, just ruining any chance of clean waves. The swell bounces around from 2ft to 7ft, but it’s all chop. A washing machine. Not worth the paddling effort.
There’s a brief tease on Sunday the 20th, where the wind backs off a bit, and we get a cleaner 3ft from the NNW with a much better 14-second period. But it’s still marginal.
The real story starts brewing the following week. Sunday the 27th, the swell starts to build in the afternoon, hitting 7ft from the NNW with an 11-second period. But the wind is still messy.
Then, Monday the 28th is the standout. A solid 12ft of NNW groundswell with a 13-second period, and the energy is massive. This is a serious, powerful swell, for experts only. That size will be breaking heavy on the reef. The wind is still onshore, which is a bummer, but with that much water moving, it could still be on. It’ll be a wild, powerful, and potentially dangerous day. If you’re a pro and you’re hungry, this is the one to watch, but hold on tight.
It starts to ease Tuesday morning, dropping to a still-hold-onto-your-hats 6ft.
So, bottom line: the next week and a half are mostly a write-off. The big standout is that pulse on the 28th, which will be the biggest and most powerful surf of the forecast, but definitely not for the faint of heart. Long-range outlook is promising, but keep your expectations in check until we get closer.
Keep the board waxed and be patient. The ocean’s about to wake up.
