The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for El Caño de la Culata, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The setup is sheltered, which means it needs a solid push from the south to wake up, and that’s just not happening in this window. The numbers come in at zero for most of the period, so we’re looking at a long, flat run. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf to speak of right from the start.
The first chance of anything rideable shows up on the 5th of September. Saturday morning could see a tiny 1.0ft swell from the SSE, but with a period of only 4 seconds, it’s weak and short-period. The combined energy is just 4 – that’s as weak as it gets. Light cross-shore wind will keep it from being a complete mess, but honestly, it’s barely a ripple.
Sunday the 6th is similar. A 1.0ft swell from the SE in the morning with a light offshore NNE breeze, making it clean. But the period is still a short 4 seconds, and the energy is only 3. It’s a lot of work for nothing.
The only other little blip is on the 9th of September. Wednesday afternoon sees a 2ft swell from the west, but it’s a 3-second period with a cross-onshore wind, making it choppy. Not one to get excited about.
After that, we’re back to flat. There’s nothing in the second week that offers any significant improvement. Every swell is weak, the period is short, and the winds are often onshore or cross-off. For a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot, this is a tough run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 5th or 6th of September mornings are your best, but don’t expect to do much more than float.
Rusty.
