The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a long stretch ahead at Club del la Playa, and honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burner. The first few days are pretty flat and messy, but there’s a bit of light at the end of the tunnel if you’re willing to wait.
The water is sitting at 54° – a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice little bonus if you’re paddling out without a thick suit.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Monday, 3 August. We’re looking at a clean 3ft swell from the SSE, with a gentle 9 mph cross-off breeze from the NE. The wave energy is moderate (273), and the period is a solid 11 seconds, so there’s some proper shape to those lines. It’s not huge, but it’s surfable and clean – a good session for a Sunday hangover cure, if you will.
The rest of that week is a bit of a washout. The wind swings around, the swell drops, and we get a lot of junk. On Thursday morning, 6 August, we see a small, clean 1ft swell with a 12-second period and a gentle offshore wind, but the energy is pretty weak (109). It’s ridable, but nothing to get excited about.
Now, if you’re an experienced surfer and you’re looking for a proper challenge, hang tight for the middle of the second week. On Tuesday morning, 11 August, we’ve got a solid 7ft groundswell from the E, with a long 10-second period and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is strong (1080), and this is a proper wave. Tuesday afternoon cleans up a bit more, with 6ft from the same direction, but a cross-shore wind makes it a little lumpy. This is the standout window for the seasoned crew.
The real big stuff hits on Thursday, 13 August, with a massive 12ft swell from the SSW, but it’s accompanied by a messy cross-onshore wind. The energy is very strong (2002), but this is only for the experts, and even then, the conditions are going to be rough. Honestly, for the average surfer, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the best bet? Monday, 3 August morning if you want a clean, modest wave. Tuesday, 11 August morning is the standout for the big-wave hunters – that’s a proper groundswell with clean wind, but it’s a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed the forecast holds.
Crowds are possible at Club del la Playa, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself if it’s firing.
Rusty.
