The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. The only spot on the radar is Club del la Playa, a beach and point setup that’s consistent and exposed to S swell. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at 55°F. Not exactly a firing start, but there’s a few glimmers if you’re patient.
The first few days are pretty flat out. Tuesday morning, 1st September, you’ve got a tiny 2ft easterly bump with a measly 8-second period and a cross-on breeze. Combined energy is only 49 – weak as dishwater. Wednesday morning, 2nd, gets a bit cleaner with a gentle offshore from the N, but the swell’s still only 2ft from the east, 9 seconds. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Thursday morning, 3rd, sees a jump to 3ft from the east, 10 seconds, with a clean cross-off wind and combined energy of 151 – you’ll feel a bit more push. But it’s still just a small wave.
Friday through Sunday, 4th to 6th September, is a write-off. Onshore winds, lumpy, and even though Sunday morning, 6th, pumps up to 8ft from the S with a whopping 883 combined energy, the wind is howling onshore at 22 mph. That’s a messy, blown-out mess. Over 8ft is expert-only, and with that wind, it’s more likely to be a kite session than a paddle surf.
The first real standout in the whole window is Tuesday morning, 8th September. Glassy conditions – dead calm – with a 3ft SE swell, 10-second period, and combined energy of 241. That’s clean, fun-sized surf. The swell direction is from the SE, which matches the optimum S direction reasonably well for Club del la Playa. It’s the best on offer, no doubt. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here.
After that, it fades back to small and ordinary. Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th get clean cross-off winds but the swell drops to 3ft and 3ft, with energy fading. Friday 11th and Saturday 12th are poor again with onshore or cross-shore wind. Sunday 13th is straight onshore. Monday 14th, cross-on, choppy.
The second week is grim. The only other moment worth a mention is Tuesday morning, 15th September – glassy again, but only 2ft from the SSE, 10 seconds, with combined energy of just 86. It’s small and ordinary. By Wednesday 16th, it’s 0.7ft and barely alive. That’s a long, quiet stretch from the 9th onward with no real juice.
So, if you’re going to paddle out, aim for Tuesday morning, 8th September. That’s your window. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too messy.
