Club del la Playa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Club del la Playa. The water temp here is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

Right off the bat, we get a little pulse on Tuesday the 25th of August. Morning sees a clean 4ft SSE groundswell with a nice 11-second period and moderate energy (382). Winds are light and cross-off, so the beach and point setup could actually be fun for a few hours. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and rideable for an intermediate.

Tuesday afternoon, the swell drops a touch to 4ft but energy picks up to 582, still clean with light ENE breezes. Solid Tuesday.

Wednesday the 26th brings a bigger pulse — 5ft SE swell with a very long 15-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy (1103), but the wind turns moderate cross-off from the NE at 12 mph. It’ll be clean enough, but that long period means it might be a bit straight at the beach. The point should handle it much better. Still, for intermediates, this is pushing the limits size-wise.

Thursday morning the 27th drops back to 3ft SE with a 13-second period and light NW cross-off winds. Clean, small, fun. By afternoon, though, the wind swings SW at 16 mph cross-on and it gets choppy and messy. That afternoon is a write-off.

From Friday the 28th right through to Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s a flat, windy mess. Swell drops to 2–4ft but mostly from the east with short periods and onshore or cross-shore winds. Energy stays weak to moderate (89–227). Not worth paddling out. That’s a solid 5-day gap of poor conditions.

Wednesday the 2nd of September shows a glimmer — morning sees 2ft easterly swell, but finally some offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph. It’s small, only 128 energy, but clean. Surfable but ordinary.

Thursday the 3rd brings a jump in size to 4ft SSW, but it’s short-period windswell (6 seconds) and 19 mph cross winds. Afternoon gets worse with 5ft and 25 mph cross-on. That’s only for kites, not paddles.

Friday the 4th stays poor with messy onshore winds and lumpy conditions.

But then Saturday the 5th of September — here’s the real standout. Morning is small, 2ft S with light offshore N wind and clean. But the afternoon is the pick: 3ft SSE groundswell with a very long 13-second period, clean with light NE cross-off breezes, and energy of 227. It’s not big, but it’s clean and the point should line up nicely. If you can get out, this is the best of the fortnight.

After that, the second week fades back into small, weak east swells with moderate winds. Nothing to write home about.

So overall: Tuesday the 25th is fun, Wednesday the 26th has size but wind is a factor, and Saturday the 5th of September afternoon is the real gem. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out, but the point can handle it.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
