The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve looked over what’s coming for El Caño de la Culata over the next sixteen days, and I’ll be honest – it’s a tough run. There’s hardly any swell energy making it in, so we’re talking about a lot of flat, clean water with no real surf. The first hint of a wave doesn’t show until Monday the 14th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
Thursday the 10th starts with a clear morning and a light offshore breeze out of the NNE at 3 mph. The water temperature is 75°F, which is 4°F above the long-term average – much warmer than normal for this time of year. But there’s zero swell, combined energy at 0. Friday the 11th is dead calm and glassy all morning, still nothing. Saturday and Sunday stay clean with light cross-offshore winds, but flat as can be.
Monday morning the 14th finally brings a tiny pulse: a 0.3ft swell from the SW at 12 seconds, with combined energy of just 5. It’s clean with a light cross-offshore ESE breeze at 9 mph, but it’s barely a bump. Tuesday the 15th offers a 1ft SW windswell with a period of 2 seconds – super short and weak – and the afternoon turns messy with a 16 mph onshore. The little pulses keep dribbling in, with the biggest on Monday the 21st: a 1ft S swell at 5 seconds in the morning, and 2ft from the SSE at 4 seconds in the afternoon. That’s still weak, and the afternoon gets choppy with a 13 mph cross-onshore.
The last decent moment might be Friday the 25th morning: a 0.7ft WSW swell at 16 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell that could have some shape, but it’s tiny. Combined energy is 26, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, it’s still flat.
El Caño de la Culata is a sheltered beginner break, and this is one of those stretches where it just goes quiet. There are no standout sessions. Nothing in the 16 days is worth getting excited about. The surf just isn’t on. Hang in there – forecasts can change, and it doesn’t usually stay this poor for long.
