The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Club del la Playa.
First thing you gotta know: the water’s sitting at 51° right now, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing freaky there.
The next couple of weeks look pretty slim for getting a proper wave, to be honest. There’s a bit of small surf on offer right from the start, but it’s mostly ordinary, nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of days with poor conditions and choppy winds, so you’ll be waiting a while.
The best of the lot comes in the second week, so keep your eyes on the end of the month. On Monday morning, July 27th, the swell picks up to 4ft from the SSE with a 10-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the NE, so things will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (327). It’s not a giant, but it’s the cleanest setup we’ve seen in a while.
Then, Tuesday morning, July 28th is the real stand-out. The swell stays at 3ft from the SSE, but the period stretches out to a nice 12 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm from the E. The combined energy is strong (311). This is the kind of morning where you paddle out and it feels like the ocean is smiling at you. The long period might make it a bit straight at the beach break, but Club del la Playa is a beach and point setup, so the point might handle it beautifully.
The days before that? Mostly a write-off. From the 14th through to the 26th, it’s a mix of tiny surf, onshore winds, and cross-chop. The few moments of clean, offshore wind are on waves under 3ft, which is barely rideable. There’s a spike of bigger swell around 5ft to 6ft on the 21st and 22nd, but the wind is all over the place—cross, cross-on, fresh breezes—making it a lumpy mess. That’s more of a kite session than a surf session.
So, hold out for that Monday and Tuesday at the end of July. It’s a long wait, but it might just be worth it.
Rusty.
