The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Straight up: the first week and a bit is a total washout. From Friday the 28th of August all the way through to Saturday the 5th of September, the surf is basically flat. Tiny swell, short periods, and the wind is mostly junk – cross-onshore, choppy, and messy. You’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. But stick with me, because there’s one bright spot.
The one and only standout is Club del la Playa on Sunday the 6th of September. That’s when we finally get some proper energy. A solid SSE groundswell shows up – 5.6ft to 6.2ft with a long period of 13 to 14 seconds. That’s real groundswell, full of power and shape. The combined energy is huge – we’re talking strong energy. With that period and direction, this swell will wrap around the point nicely, which is exactly what this spot needs. The wind is clean and cross-offshore on Sunday morning, and by the afternoon it goes glassy with light breezes. This is excellent, clean surf for experienced surfers. If you’re an intermediate or beginner, that 5.6ft to 6.2ft is going to be a bit much – this is advanced territory. Also, keep in mind that crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early.
Monday the 7th of September brings similar size – 4.9ft to 5.6ft – but the wind swings onshore from the SW at 19 to 22 mph, and it gets lumpy and rough. That’s a hard pass. The rest of the second week is mostly small, messy, or onshore again. Saturday the 12th shows a bump in size (5.9ft) but with a short period of 7 seconds and cross-onshore wind – not worth it. No other real standouts.
So, if you’re chasing waves, your window is Sunday the 6th of September at Club del la Playa. That’s the one clean, powerful session on offer.
