The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks at Club del la Playa.
Honestly, the first ten days or so are a bit of a struggle. We’ve got some swell here and there, but the conditions are just fighting us the whole way. The water is sitting at 55°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but don’t let that fool you into thinking the surf will be comfortable. For the most part, it’s a waiting game.
The first real light at the end of the tunnel shows up on Monday the 14th. The morning session sees a clean 3ft SSE swell (193 combined energy) with a light cross-off breeze. It’s small but surfable. A much better window opens up on Thursday the 17th. The afternoon is looking like a standout for this whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 3ft groundswell out of the SSE (276 combined energy) with a nice 11 second period. The wind is a true offshore from the NNE, and it’s gentle enough to leave the surface glassy. That’s the one to circle.
The following week gets a bit more interesting size-wise, but the wind stays stubborn. Wednesday the 23rd morning, we finally see some push. A clean 3ft easterly swell (223 combined energy) with light cross-off winds from the WNW. That’s another good call. The energy picks up that afternoon, but the wind swings onshore and chops it, so stick to the morning.
That’s the short story. The 17th afternoon is your best bet, with the 23rd morning a close second if you can hold out. Patience is the play here.
Rusty.
