The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what Club del la Playa is serving up over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first week or so is pretty grim. We’ve got a lot of onshore wind and messy, choppy conditions making for poor surf. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, sitting around (375 to 478) for the combined energy reading. It’s not worth getting wet for.
There’s a bit of a glimmer on the morning of Sunday, the 16th of August. The wind goes glassy with a light northwesterly, and the combined energy is a modest (203). We get a 4-foot easterly swell with an 8-second period. It’s small, and it’s a short-period windswell, so it’ll be a bit fat and weak, but the clean surface will make it rideable for a paddle. Don’t expect much power.
Then the run of poor conditions returns until we hit the standout window. The real action is locked in for the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of August. Saturday the 22nd is the big one. A solid 10-foot south-southwest swell rolls in with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a massive (1443), which is strong and full of power. The morning is glassy with a light south-southwest breeze, meaning absolutely pristine conditions. This is a big, powerful swell though—over 8 feet—so this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The size and the clean conditions will make for some memorable, heavy waves. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a light cross-onshore, and the swell drops to 8 feet, still sizable.
Sunday the 23rd keeps the energy going. The morning has a 7-foot southerly swell with an 11-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore from the east-northeast, keeping it clean. The energy is still very strong at (1104). It’s still going to be big and powerful, better for those with some experience. The afternoon gets a bit lumpier as the wind swings cross-shore.
Beyond that, the last few days of the month taper off back into weak, onshore slop. So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Your best bet is the glassy morning of the 16th for a small, clean session. But the absolute standout, no question, is Saturday the 22nd of August at dawn for the big-swell crew. Keep an eye on that one.
