The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast.
First up, the bad news: the next few days are a write-off. Saturday the 6th is a no-go with strong onshore winds and a messy 7.2ft southerly swell that’s blown out. Sunday the 7th shows a glimmer of hope in the morning. We’ve got a cleaner 3.9ft SSE swell with a light cross-offshore wind from the NNW, making for decent conditions at Club del la Playa (beach and point). The combined swell energy is moderate at 228, and it’s a consistent break, so you’ll find a few fun ones. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. Monday morning the 8th is also worth a paddle with a clean 2.9ft SSE swell and a light offshore breeze, but it’s pretty weak energy (135). The standout for the whole window is Monday the 14th of September. That morning, we’ve got a solid 5.2ft easterly swell with a period of 11 seconds, combined energy of 735, and a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s clean, powerful, and shoulder-high waves with good shape. It’s a consistent break, and the direction is right on the money. This is the one to circle. After that, the window dries up quickly. Tuesday the 15th goes flat and cross-shore, and the rest of the week is a mix of onshore winds and small, weak swells. There’s a small window on Saturday the 20th with a clean but tiny 1ft to 2ft swell, but that’s really for the longboard or a sunset cruise. Then on the 21st of September, we see a promising 2.9ft southerly groundswell with a 13-second period and clean conditions, but that’s at the very end of the forecast and a bit uncertain. Keep an eye on it.
So, for the best surf: without a doubt, Monday morning the 14th of September at Club del la Playa. That’s your pick.
