The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening at Club del la Playa for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a grind. We’re looking at small, weak swell and a lot of cross-shore wind. The first hint of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July. That’s the standout window. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the East, and the wind goes glassy. The combined energy hits 308 (moderate), and the conditions are described as glassy. That’s the one to circle. Saturday the 1st of August goes straight back to messy with big onshore winds and a 7ft lumpy swell – that’s expert territory and blown out.
The following Monday the 3rd of August sees a cleaner 6ft SSE swell (energy 944, moderate) but it’s onshore wind, so it’s a marginal call. For a point-and-beach set-up like Club del la Playa, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The real second chance comes on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning has a 3ft SE groundswell (energy 215, moderate) with a light offshore breeze. That’s clean, manageable, and the period is 11 seconds, so you’ll get some proper lines. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The rest of the second week is ordinary. Swell drops off, period gets short, wind stays cross-off. Nothing else worth paddling out for.
Rusty.
