The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Club del la Playa over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions starting Friday the 7th. The wind is messy, mostly cross-shore or onshore, and the surf quality is just not there. The swell is all over the place, but the wind kills it. You’ll see a bit of size on Monday the 10th with a 5.6ft S swell, but with a 25 km/h onshore wind, it’s just a choppy mess. The combined energy is moderate at best (748). Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
Things start to look a little more promising towards the end of the second week. The standout is Thursday the 20th. Finally, we get a clean day. The wind swings around to a light offshore from the north at 10-15 km/h. That’s the good stuff. The swell is a solid 6.6ft to 7.2ft from the ESE with a long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The wave energy is strong (1247-1006), so this is not for the faint of heart – over 6.6ft is only for experienced surfers. The water temp is sitting at 54°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not too chilly.
The break is a consistent beach and point setup, and it’s exposed to the south. That Thursday morning session is the one to aim for. The waves will be clean and powerful, but be aware it can get crowded sometimes. The long period means the sets will be well-spaced, making paddling out easier, but at a beach break, it might stand up a bit too straight. For a point break, it’s likely going to be perfect.
The rest of the period after that is a mixed bag. Friday the 21st goes back onshore, and the weekend is a write-off again. So, if you’re keen, you’ve got a long wait, but Thursday the 20th is your best bet.
