Table - best surf conditions forecast for Club del la Playa over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Club del la Playa.
Looking at the next couple of weeks, there are a few moments where it's worth suiting up, but you'll need to be patient. The first few days are a washout, then we get a couple of clean windows over the weekend and into early next week before it fades out.
Friday the 10th is a complete no-go. Cross-shore chop, poor conditions, don't even think about it.
Saturday the 11th morning is the one to set your alarm for. We’ve got a small 3ft swell from the ESE with a nice 11-second period. The wind is light offshore from the NNW, making the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 413. This is the best wave of the whole outlook. Clean lines, consistent spot – this is the standout.
Sunday the 12th brings in strong cross-onshore winds and a lumpy mess. Surf is not the call; leave it for the kites.
Monday the 13th morning is back on. Clean conditions with light cross-offshore winds. The swell is 2ft from the SE, 12-second period, and the energy is moderate at 203. It’s not big, but it’s clean and rideable.
Tuesday the 14th morning is another good one. Offshore wind from the N at 9 mph, swell at 3ft from the ESE with a 10-second period, and combined energy at 220. Clean shoulders, nice shape – a solid session.
From Wednesday the 15th, the swell starts to fade. The wind stays light enough to keep things clean, but the wave height drops to around 3ft or less, and the energy falls off into the weak range. Wednesday morning has some glassy conditions, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.
The second week, from the 19th of July, is pretty grim. Winds shift onshore from the south, the swell period drops to 4-5 seconds, and it gets choppy and ugly. The energy stays low. There’s a marginal window on the morning of the 24th of July with a 3ft S swell and 11-second period, but the cross-shore wind keeps it just okay at best.
Water temp is 52°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no drama there.
Bottom line: Saturday morning the 11th is your best bet by far. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th mornings are also worth paddling out. After that, it’s a long, flat, messy run until the 24th, and even that is a maybe. Not a great run overall.
Rusty.
