The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, but I’ll switch to feet for you. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at El Caño de la Culata over the next 16 days. I gotta be straight with you: it’s looking lean.
From the 26th of July all the way to the 10th of August, we’re staring at a whole lot of flat. The combined swell energy never climbs above single or low double digits, topping out at an energy of 12. That’s just weak. This is a sheltered beginner-friendly spot that needs a south swell, and the ocean isn’t giving us one.
The pattern from start to finish:
You’ll see tiny bumps. The only real pulse of swell shows up on the 7th of August Friday, with a 0.7ft WSW groundswell at 10 seconds in the afternoon, and a combined energy of 12. Friday morning has a 0.3ft SW swell at 11 seconds. It’s clean, but it’s tiny. Mornings are often glassy or light cross-offshore, like on the 29th of July Wednesday morning (calm, glassy), the 3rd of August Monday morning (calm, glassy), and the 10th of August Monday morning (light, glassy). Those windows would make the water look like a mirror, but without swell, there’s nothing to ride.
Afternoons get that SW onshore wind, usually 10-20 mph, sometimes gusting to 19 mph, making things choppy. For a break that’s “fairly consistent” in the guidance, this is a dead stretch. If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing here for you. If you’re an experienced surfer, don’t even load the board. On the windy afternoons, this spot honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temp anomaly isn’t given for the first break mentioned, so I can’t tell you if it’s warmer or cooler than usual.
Best (and only) mention: the morning of the 7th of August Friday. You might get a couple of clean 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves with that longer-period groundswell and cross-offshore wind. But that’s scraping the barrel.
Sign off: Hang loose, but maybe hang at the beach instead. Forecasts can flip, so don’t lose hope entirely. Rusty.
