The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour now. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at Club del la Playa, a beach and point break that’s open to the south swell. The water’s sitting at 53°, which is about 2° warmer than average for late July – just a bit of that summer warmth, nothing wild.
The first week is a total bummer. From Sunday the 26th of July, it’s tiny, weak, and messy. The swell is small, wind is all over the place, and the surf conditions are poor. The combined swell energy is low, mostly under 150, so there’s no push. You’re looking at knee-high slop with cross-shore winds.
The first real chance comes on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August. That’s the standout. We’ve got a clean offshore wind from the north, with a 5-foot swell from the east, 10-second period. The combined energy hits 477, which is a solid moderate push. The wind is light, so the waves will be clean and glassy. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s not massive, but for Club del la Playa, it’s the best you’ll get. That 5-foot range is a bit much for beginners, but intermediates will have a blast.
Then there’s another window on the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. The swell is 6 feet from the southwest, but the period is short, only 7 seconds, so it’s a windswell. The wind is offshore again, light from the NNW, so conditions are clean. Combined energy is 345 – moderate. It’s not as clean or as powerful as the Tuesday, but it’s another day with clean lines. The Thursday afternoon also holds with a 5-foot southwest swell and gentle offshore breeze.
After that, it’s back to small and choppy. The 7th of August morning has almost nothing, and the rest of the forecast is messy. The 9th of August afternoon has a 4-foot swell with offshore wind, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s lumpy. The 10th of August sees a 7-foot swell from the southwest, but it’s cross-on and messy, making it a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day.
So, there’s a long gap of nothing until the 4th of August. Then you’ve got a couple of clean windows, but they’re short. Tuesday the 4th of August morning is the clear winner. The rest is just waiting for a better forecast.
Rusty.
