The Lowdown
Grab your coffee, let’s have a look.
Honestly, for El Caño de la Culata, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. No real swell to speak of for the next 16 days. A long run of flat or nearly flat conditions, with zero surf worth mentioning from now until September 12th, with only tiny, weak pulses that won’t give you anything worth paddling out for. The first two weeks are basically a write-off.
The one that might raise an eyebrow is the morning of September 9th, a Wednesday. We get a pulse of swell from the SSE pushing 3 ft, with a period of 5 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak little wave, with combined energy of 42. Wind swings offshore from the N at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. But don’t get too excited – that height and period aren't going to peel with any drive. With the break being sheltered and the swell slight, and water temps about average for the time of year, you might find a soft, crumbly wave for a longboard if you’re desperate. Crowds are sometimes around. It’s a poor surf call overall.
That’s your lot. A long dry spell, one slim chance on September 9th.
