Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Caño de la Culata over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of coast is not looking like a winner over the next 16 days. We’ve got a long, quiet, and frustrating outlook ahead at El Caño de la Culata. There are no real standout sessions to get excited about, so temper expectations.
The overall pattern is one of flat, weak conditions dominated by onshore winds. The water temperature is a notable 76°F – that’s a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. You’ll feel like you’re paddling in a bath, but the waves just won’t be there to enjoy it.
It starts with a gap. The first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 12th has a tiny 0.7ft to 1ft swell from the WSW with a rubbish 3-second period, and the wind is onshore. The combined wave energy is a pathetic 1 to 2 (weak energy). It’s "poor surf conditions" across the board.
The whole first week is like that. Monday the 13th through to Saturday the 19th we see morning windows with clean, cross-offshore winds from the NNW, but there’s zero swell on the charts. The afternoons are a bust with onshore winds and hopeless slop. The best you’ll see is a 2ft to 2ft mush burger with a 3-second period and moderate cross-onshore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From Sunday the 20th through to the end of the period, it’s more of the same. A few glimpses of clean mornings, but the swell is simply not there. The combined energy barely tickles double digits. On Saturday the 25th, we get a brief moment: a 2ft swell from the WNW with a 4-second period and a light offshore breeze from the N in the morning. That’s the cleanest it gets, but the size is tiny and the period is short. It’s still flagged as "poor surf conditions."
This is a classic case of flat spells for a sheltered spot. The break is fairly consistent, but it’s a beginner wave that needs a decent push from the south. We’re not getting it. The forecasts can change, so don’t lose all hope, but as it stands, don’t expect to get wet.
Rusty.
