The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the coming surf for El Caño de la Culata. Straight up, this is a tough stretch, mate. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any proper waves, so you’re looking at a long, quiet run with next to nothing to get excited about.
Let’s start with the first hint of anything, and it’s pretty weak. Over the next few days, we’ve got a few periods of tiny swell, but it’s all labelled as poor surf conditions. For Sunday the 6th, we’re seeing a 0.3ft SW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds, but the combined energy is only 7—that’s weak. The wind is a light breeze from the ENE at 6 mph, so the morning might look clean, but there’s nothing to ride. By Monday the 7th, the morning glass-off with SW wind at 3 mph will have the surface looking perfect, but again, it’s a 0.3ft SW swell (14-second period) and energy of just 9. Not worth paddling out for.
The next two weeks are a barren desert. From the 8th of September all the way through to the 21st, almost every session shows zero swell or negligible bits and pieces that never break 2ft. You’ll see a few moments of glassy conditions, like Wednesday morning the 16th with a WNW wind at 3 mph, but there’s no swell at all. A couple of afternoons, like the 19th and 20th, show a 2ft swell from the SSE or WSW, but with a period of just 4 seconds (choppy, weak windswell) and combined energy in the 12–20 range, it’s all poor. The wind is onshore and moderate, making it a mess.
Honestly, for a spot that’s sheltered and fairly consistent, this is a rough spell. There are no standouts, no days to circle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so that’s not giving you any edge. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings might be nice for a float, but you won’t catch a wave. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup on those bigger, windier afternoons than anything for a paddle board.
Keep the faith, though—forecasts change, and it won’t stay this flat forever.
