The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Club del la Playa. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing strange.
Sunday the 23rd is a total loss. We’ve got 7 to 8 ft swell from the south, but that 19 mph cross-onshore wind is just wrecking it. Choppy and lumpy – leave the board at home.
Monday the 24th is still rough. Swell drops to about 6 ft, but the wind is still onshore and the conditions are marginal. Not worth a special trip.
Tuesday the 25th morning is a turn. Swell is about 4 ft from the SSE with a light NE cross-offshore breeze. It’s clean, with moderate energy. A fun little session, nothing huge.
Wednesday the 26th is also clean with that NE breeze. Swell around 4 to 5 ft from the SE. Clean and surfable.
Thursday the 27th morning is small and clean – about 3 ft from the SE with an offshore NNE wind. Good for a longboard. The afternoon gets stormy.
From Friday the 28th through Monday the 31st, it’s a dry spell. Swell drops below 3 ft, winds are messy, and energy is weak. A solid four-day gap with nothing good.
Now, Tuesday the 1st of September is the real standout. Morning brings a clean 7 ft east swell with a light NW cross-offshore breeze. Strong energy (1104), 11-second period. That’s the best session in the whole run. Get up early.
Wednesday the 2nd of September is another cracker. Morning has a 7 ft SW swell with offshore wind – clean. The afternoon goes glassy with 8 ft from the SW, but that’s expert-only territory. Still, the conditions are perfect.
From Thursday the 3rd onward, it fades. Swell drops below 3 ft, energy drops off, and while the wind stays clean, the waves are small and ordinary through to the end on Monday the 7th.
In short: The first week is hit-and-miss. The real magic is Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September. Mark those days.
