The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles for the land-based crew. Lookin’ at Club del la Playa. It’s a beach and point setup, consistent, and it likes a south swell. Water’s a touch warmer than average for the season, at about 55°F.
First week is a total bust. From the 2nd through the 12th of September, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The 2nd and 3rd have tiny 2ft to 3ft easterly swells, with weak energy (78 to 200) and cross-off breezes. It’s a no-go. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are just as ugly with onshore chop. Sunday the 6th throws a massive 12ft SSE swell with a combined energy of 2098, but it’s howlin’ onshore at 25 mph. That’s a mess – more for the kite crew than us. The whole run from the 2nd through the 12th is a real dry spell, day after day of poor conditions.
The second week has a bit more promise. Monday the 8th has a small 2ft to 3ft SSE swell with clean offshore winds from the NNE. It’s small, energy is weak (95 to 132), but it’s clean. Crowds are sometimes around, so it’s a fun little longboard session.
The one to circle on the calendar is the 16th and 17th of September. Wednesday the 16th morning has a 4ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and clean offshore north winds. Energy is a solid 360. That’s a good session. But the absolute standout is Thursday the 17th morning. You’re gettin’ a 5ft south swell, 11-second period, and a clean light offshore breeze. The energy jumps to 568, and it’s the best wave of the whole 16-day outlook. The afternoon on the 17th is still decent with a 4ft south swell and a 12-second period, but the wind gets a bit stronger. That morning – that’s the one.
