Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on El Caño de la Culata.
Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking mostly flat with rubbish conditions, so we’ve got a long stretch of quiet water ahead. From now, right through the entire period—Saturday the 11th of July all the way to Sunday the 26th of July—there's no decent surf on offer. Every single session comes back as "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0 out of 10.
We start off Saturday morning with a tiny 1.6 ft swell from the SW at a short 4 seconds, and a stiff 12.4 mph onshore wind from the SSW. The water is a very unusual 77.0°F, which is 6.8° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a proper anomaly, like the ocean is having a heatwave. But with the weak combined energy (only 7) and messy wind, it’s a total write-off.
Sunday the 12th of July morning actually shows glassy conditions with a light S wind at 3.1 mph, but the swell is barely a ripple at 0.7 ft and 3 seconds (combined energy of just 1). Nice to look at, nothing to ride.
From Monday the 13th of July through the rest of the week and into the next, it’s a broken record: clear skies, but either zero swell or tiny, weak, short-period slop with onshore or cross-onshore winds. Afternoons often jump to 15.5–18.6 mph breezes from the SW or WSW, making the water choppy and lumpy. There’s a brief uptick in combined energy on Tuesday the 21st of July afternoon – a 3 ft swell from the SE with a period of 6 seconds and moderately weak energy (51), but it’s ruined by a 15.5 mph cross-onshore.
A couple of mornings have a glassy or clean look, like Sunday the 19th of July and Monday the 20th of July, but there’s simply no swell to work with. This spot is sheltered and rarely gets proper exposure, so a flat, calm run like this is pretty normal for the area. It’s not the place to be holding your breath for a wave right now.
For a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot like this, if you’re after paddle surfing, you’re out of luck. Honestly, with the frequent moderate-to-fresh cross-onshore winds and tiny bump, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
That’s the ugly truth. No standouts, no hidden gems this time. Keep an eye on the charts – it can’t stay this flat forever.
