The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. Club del la Playa is a beach and point, and the water’s sitting at about 52°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
We start off Monday the 13th, but it’s a dud. Tiny 3ft swell from the ESE with a weak 7-second period and combined energy of just 184 – weak stuff. Glassy, but barely a ripple.
Tuesday the 14th morning is the first real window. A clean 4ft ESE swell, 10-second period, and light offshore NNE winds at 6 mph. Combined energy at 220 – moderate. The point should offer clean, lined-up waves. Good for intermediates.
Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th stays small, with swells around 3ft to 2ft from the E. Winds are offshore or cross-off, so conditions are tidy, but the energy is weak (32 to 149). Knee-to-waist high.
Then a long dry spell from Saturday the 18th to Saturday the 25th. Onshore winds, chop, and poor conditions. There’s a big spike on Tuesday the 21st with a massive 13ft SSW swell and 2438 energy – strong. But it’s got a 40 mph cross-off wind and a short 9-second period. Messy and powerful. Only for experts.
The real standout is Sunday the 26th morning. Clean 4ft E swell, 10-second period (298 energy), and a gentle offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph. That’s chest-high, clean, and well-shaped. The point will be firing. The afternoon holds 6ft E swell, but the period drops to 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit dumpy.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th see onshore winds again, with a 5ft E swell on Monday morning (12-second period, 690 energy – moderate), but the wind ruins it.
The best call is the morning of Sunday the 26th. Clean, chest-high, offshore. Tuesday the 14th morning is a solid backup.
Rusty.
