The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the coming weeks. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, so let’s get into it.
Right now, the pattern is pretty grim. We’re looking at a stretch of poor to marginal conditions that’ll have you wondering if the ocean’s gone on holiday. The water temp at Club del la Playa is sitting at 54°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
We kick off Sunday the 9th with a messy 6ft SW swell, but it’s windblown with a fresh cross-shore at 22 mph and weak energy (320). That’s a no-go. Monday the 10th is onshore and poor. Tuesday the 11th is the first real looker. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the SSE with a solid 12-second period, giving us moderate wave energy (767). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The longer period means better shaped waves but longer lulls between sets, so be patient.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are mostly poor with onshore winds and dropping energy. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are flat and weak. Then from Sunday the 16th into Monday the 17th, we get a bump from the east around 5ft to 5ft, but it’s short-period (7-9 seconds) and the wind is fresh or moderate, so the quality is ordinary. The surf stays small and weak through to the end of the third week.
Now, the standout window. Look at Sunday the 23rd of August. We’ve got a 6ft S swell with a 12-second period pushing in. The wind is nearly glassy from the SE at just 3 mph, which means clean conditions. Energy is strong (809). By Sunday afternoon, the swell nudges up to 6ft from the same direction, still with light wind, and energy climbs to 1083. This is the one to circle. The S swell direction lines up with what this break likes. With a long period like that, the point will be your best bet for a proper wall, as the beach might get a bit straight.
Monday the 24th holds that energy with a 6ft to 7ft SSE groundswell, period stretching to 16 seconds (very long period). That’s expert territory if it gets over 8ft, but at 7ft, it’s still a big, powerful wave. The wind is cross-offshore, so the face will be clean. Energy is massive (2509). This is a serious swell. If you’re experienced and have a big board, get on it. The long period means long sets, so take your time paddling out.
Overall, the best surf is on Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th. The earlier week has a few marginal windows, but nothing to write home about. Crowds at Club del la Playa are a possibility, but with conditions this patchy, it might be quieter than usual.
Stay stoked, and keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.
