The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checkin' in with a look at what we got cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Alright folks, the truth is, it's a bit of a slow start. For the first few days here at Club del la Playa, we're pretty much sittin' on our hands. The water's sittin' right around average for the time of year, which is fine, but the waves just aren't there. We got tiny, weak little slop coming through Thursday and Friday – nothing worth paddling out for. It's gonna be a quiet start.
Saturday the 12th sees the swell jump up to 7 ft from the S, but man, the wind is a mess. It's honkin' cross-onshore at 22 mph, turning the whole place into a lumpy, choppy mess. The energy levels spike up to 565 (moderate to strong, I guess), but with that wind, it's a write-off. Might be more fun for the kite crew than us paddle surfers that day. Sunday and Monday stay small and messy with the wind, nothin' doin'.
Now, listen up. Wednesday the 16th is where our eyes should be. We finally get a break in the weather. The wind drops to a dead calm – glassy conditions – with a clean 5 ft swell rollin' in from the SSE. The energy is strong at 511. That looks like a proper session for the intermediate crew, although that size might be a bit much for the beginners. That's our first real standout, no question.
Thursday the 17th keeps it going. We get a clean 4 ft swell in the morning from the SSE with a moderate offshore breeze, and it cleans up even more in the afternoon with a gentle offshore. Period is up around 11-12 seconds, so there's some nice groundswell energy there. Good, clean waves to be had.
After that, things get a bit skittish again. Friday and Saturday are small and the wind swings around, but keep an eye on Wednesday the 23rd. A nice little 3 ft S swell shows up with a moderate offshore wind and a solid 13-second period. The energy's moderate at 255, and it'll be clean. That's a promising look for a mid-week session, but being that far out, I'm not gonna bet the farm on it just yet. A day later, on the 25th, we see another clean little 3 ft pulse from the SSE with offshore winds, so there might be a few good days tacked on at the end of the window.
Summin' it up: the start is a total dud, but Wednesday the 16th is the clear winner. Don't sleep on Thursday the 17th either. The rest is a bit of a wait-and-see game.
Rusty.
