The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here with the local outlook.
The next 16 days are mostly a write-off. There’s a big dry spell with no decent surf for several days at the start, so don’t rush to wax up.
The best chance you’ll get—really the only standout—is at Club del la Playa, a consistent beach and point break. On the morning of Sunday the 16th, we’ve got an east swell running about 4ft with a period around 8 seconds. The wind comes from the north at only 6 mph, offshore, making for glassy, clean conditions. The combined swell energy is moderate at 223, so there’s some grunt, but it’s not a thumper. The swell direction is east, not quite the optimum south the break likes, but with wind that clean, it’ll be your best session of the week.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
That Sunday morning is it for the near term. The rest of the week gets hammered by onshore and cross-onshore winds, rain, and messy surf. Around the 22nd and 23rd, we see some serious energy—swells over 8ft with very long periods of 13-14 seconds and combined energy readings in the thousands (1793 up to 4349)—but the wind is howling from the southwest at 22-25 mph, creating lumpy cross-shore chaos. That’s expert-only territory and honestly looks better for kite surfing.
There’s a glimmer on Monday morning the 24th: a south-southeast swell at about 6ft, 13-second period, light wind, and clean faces. The combined energy is a strong 875, but it’s tagged as marginal due to tide issues. Might work, but it’s iffy.
From the 25th onward, it’s small, weak, and wind-affected. Swells barely reach 4ft, periods drop, and energy fades into the low hundreds. Not worth the paddle.
So, if you want a wave, Sunday morning the 16th is your best bet. After that, it’s a long, disappointing stretch. Forecasts can turn, but I’d plan for a quiet couple of weeks.
Rusty.
