The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on the next sixteen days for El Caño de la Culata, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it – it’s a total washout. There’s nothing to get stoked about. The finder is completely empty of any good surf options.
The whole stretch starts flat. The first week? Nothing. Zero. The combined wave energy is reading 0 for days. We’re talking a total drought. On the 21st of August, we get a tiny pulse of southwest swell, but it’s weak, short period, and the wind is howling onshore. That’s not a surfable wave, that’s just chop.
The water temp is 75°F, which is a touch warmer than usual, so at least it’s comfortable for a swim. But for surfing, it’s a no-go. The optimum swell direction is from the south, but the wind’s always onshore or cross-onshore, trashing any chance of a clean face.
Into the second week, there’s a glassy morning on the 28th of August, but still no swell. The energy is barely a whisper. We get a couple of tiny south pulses with a long period, but they’re so weak (combined energy of 11 at best) they’re not going to do anything.
For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a rough patch. But it is what it is. The forecast is showing a blank run, and sometimes that’s just how it goes. Don’t hold your breath, but forecasts can change. For now, I’d say it’s a good time to work on your tan.
Rusty.
