The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, there’s a bit of a rough patch to get through before we see any real reason to get excited.
Club del la Playa is a beach and point setup, and it’s exposed to the south. But for the first several days, it’s pretty grim. Monday and Tuesday of this week have a cross-onshore wind, choppy and lumpy, with swell around 5 ft to 5 ft from the SSE but with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at best (264 on Monday morning, dropping to 167 by Tuesday afternoon), but the wind is just ruining it. Wednesday is a bit better with an onshore wind, but still poor. Honestly, you’d be better off staying on the beach.
Thursday morning the 23rd finally gives us a little window. The wind goes glassy, light, and clear. The swell drops to 3 ft from the ESE, still short period at 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (98). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s the first real opportunity, but it’s not a standout.
The first proper standout comes on Saturday the 25th. This is the one to circle. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the SSE, but the period jumps to a very long 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy hits 414, which is strong. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, keeping things clean. This is a point break and reef-friendly swell, so it should line up nicely here. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Then a second promising window shows up on Tuesday the 28th. The swell is 3 ft from the east, also with a long 11-second period, and the energy is moderate (231). The wind is offshore from the NNE, moderate but clean. It’s a great option for a surf.
After that, the wind turns nasty again – a fresh cross-shore on Wednesday the 29th, and then a strong breeze with heavy rain and lumpy conditions on Friday the 31st. The last few days of the forecast see a return to poor conditions with cross-onshore winds and weak, short-period swell.
So, if you’re looking for the best, get out on Saturday the 25th. The long-period groundswell and clean offshore wind will make it special. The Tuesday the 28th is also a solid call. The rest of the period is mostly a write-off, with a few tiny, clean windows but nothing worth paddling out for.
