The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for surf at El Caño de la Culata. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for.
Right from Monday the 27th of July through to at least Tuesday the 11th of August, the story is the same: tiny, weak swell or flat calm. The combined swell energy barely tickles into double digits at best – we're talking about a measly 16 (moderate energy) on one afternoon, and that's as good as it gets. Most days the energy sits at 0 to 5 (weak energy). The swell windows are tiny, with heights struggling to reach 2 ft, and periods are short – 3 to 5 seconds – so there's no power or shape to them. This is a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot, but there's just nothing for anyone to ride.
A few mornings, like Wednesday the 29th of July, look glassy with a light SSE breeze, but the swell is only 1.0 ft at 4 seconds – practically a lake. The water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting for a wave that isn't coming.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day outlook, I can't point you to any standout day or break. The few afternoons that show a tiny pulse are accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore winds from the SW, making it choppy and unappealing. It's one of those blank runs that happens here – the area just isn't seeing any of the southerly swells it needs. Don't hold your breath; keep an eye on forecasts, but for now, the board stays in the car.
