The Lowdown
Alright, it’s been a bit of a flat spell around here, but things are looking up eventually. Let’s get into it.
The first bit of the outlook is quiet. The opening days don’t offer much worth paddling out for. The 16-day window starts with a stretch of poor surf, with small, messy waves and onshore winds. The first real chance comes on the 24th of August.
Club del la Playa is the only spot on the radar. This is a beach and point setup, exposed to the south.
The swell picks up late on the 22nd of August with a 6ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is fresh cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and not worth it. By the 23rd of August, the swell starts to build and the period lengthens – a 7ft swell from the S with a 13-second period comes through Sunday afternoon. That’s a long-period groundswell, bringing plenty of energy but it’s still ruined by a moderate cross-onshore wind. It’s messy.
The real standout is Monday the 24th of August. The morning looks excellent. The swell is 6ft from the SSE with a 12-second period, the wind is light and cross-offshore from the NE, and the water is clean. The combined energy is strong. This is the best session on offer – clean, solid waves, good shape. The afternoon is still surfable but a bit less clean with a gentle breeze. It’s just a bit smaller.
Tuesday the 25th of August is still a good option. The morning has a 3ft SSE swell with an 11-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the NNE. Clean, fun waves. The afternoon holds up with offshore winds and a 3ft swell.
From the 26th of August onwards, the swell drops off quickly. You get a couple of glassy mornings on the 26th and 27th with tiny waves, but it’s pretty ordinary. The rest of the run into early September is small, onshore, and not worth chasing.
The water temperature is about 52°, which is normal for the time of year.
So, the call is: Monday 24th August morning is the absolute standout. Clean, solid, good energy. Tuesday 25th is your next best bet. After that, the window closes for a while.
