The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and Fahrenheit.
Looking at the next 16 days at El Caño de la Culata, it’s a flat spell for the most part. This is a sheltered wave, so it needs a lot of things to line up, and they just don’t for a long time.
Water temperature is about 71.4°F, which is normal for the season, so no complaints there.
There’s a big gap of no surf. The wind does go offshore or glassy a few times – like Tuesday morning the 12th with a light NE breeze, or Thursday the 13th morning with dead calm – but there’s zero swell to push it. Frustrating stuff.
The only real highlight is Monday, August 24th. The morning shows a tiny 2.3ft SE swell, with a short period around 5 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore NNW wind at 12 mph. The combined wave energy is weak, just 27 (weak energy). The swell direction isn’t ideal, but it’s the only day where the wind and a little bump come together. It’s perfect for beginners at that size. Expect crowds sometimes, but it’ll be quiet with such small waves.
For the rest of the forecast, afternoon winds are mostly cross-on or onshore from the SW, turning the surf lumpy and choppy. This setup looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle-surfing one on those days.
Your best bet is the 24th, but it’s a long flat wait for a small little window.
