The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta tell ya, it’s dead quiet at El Caño de la Culata for the next two weeks plus. We’ve got zero swell on offer for the entire 16-day outlook. Let’s break it down.
From day one, Saturday the 25th of July, it’s flat – no energy (0). Cross-off wind in the morning but no waves at all. Sunday the 26th, same story. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... nothing. The combined energy barely registers. Friday morning the 31st of July shows a little blip: 1.1m from the SE, short 6-second period, combined energy at 80 – still considered poor surf conditions with light cross-onshore breeze. That’s not a wave I’d paddle out for.
Saturday the 1st of August: 0.9m from the SE, 6 seconds, energy 46 – still poor. After that it’s back to flat with nothing on the cards. This is a long dry spell, and for a sheltered beginner break that can be “fairly consistent,” a gap like this is just part of the deal around here. It won’t stay bad forever, but right now there’s nothing to write home about. Keep the board in the car and wait for a change.
