The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve got to be straight with you – this 16-day window is a proper flat spell for El Caño de la Culata. There’s no real swell to speak of, and the few tiny bumps that show up are wrecked by onshore winds. It’s going to be a long, quiet stretch.
The first hint of anything is on Tuesday, 14 July, but it’s a joke. You’re looking at 0.7ft of swell from the WSW with a period of 4 seconds, and a combined energy of just 2 (weak). The morning is glassy calm, so it’ll be clean, but there’s no wave to ride. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the SW at 15 mph, messing up the 1ft dribble. The water is a very unusual 77°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The following days are more of the same. Wednesday the 15th, Thursday the 16th, and Friday the 17th all have tiny, poor-quality swells in the 1ft to 2ft range, with short periods around 3-4 seconds and weak energy (3 to 9). The mornings are clean with cross-offshore winds from the NNW, but the afternoons are all blown out by SW or WSW winds at 12-15 mph. It’s just not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are even worse, with no measurable swell at all. Sunday morning looks glassy, but there’s nothing to surf. This pattern of zero swell and poor wind continues right through to the end of the month. On Monday, 27 July, the afternoon has a pathetic 1ft from the WNW with a period of 4 seconds and energy of 3 (weak), but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and useless.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is the very last day – Wednesday, 29 July. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, but there’s absolutely no swell. The afternoon is the same old story: onshore wind and nothing to ride.
Honestly, there’s nothing here for a surfer. The entire 16 days offers zero real surf. For a sheltered spot like this, a blank run like this is pretty normal when the swell window is closed. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts can change, but right now, this is a total write-off.
Rusty.
