The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming up for your local waters.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: the next 16 days are looking pretty hollow for waves. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, wind-affected nothingness. The only spot in the mix is El Caño de la Culata, a sheltered beginner break that’s just not catching a thing. The first bit of surf shows up on the 24th of August, but it’s a big “meh.” Monday morning the 24th sees a weak 3ft swell from the WSW with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is only moderate at 111. The wind is onshore from the SW at 15 mph, so it’s lumpy. The afternoon is the same story, a touch more wind at 18 mph, and swells at 3ft. Not worth a second look.
The rest of the window is a total desert. You’ve got days and days in a row with zero surf. There are some beautiful, glassy moments, like the morning of Tuesday the 25th when the wind goes light and offshore from the N, but there’s no swell to ride. It’s a tease. The water temp is about spot-on for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
We get a couple of tiny pulses later, like a 1ft, 13-second groundswell on the 23rd, but that’s blown out by onshore winds. The biggest “wave” in the whole run is that 3ft on the 24th, and it’s poor. The combined energy never climbs above 130, which tells you how weak it all is.
This spot is fairly consistent for a beginner wave, but it needs a south swell to light up. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and when it’s clean, there’s nothing to surf. To be honest, for a more experienced surfer, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the breeze picks up.
I’d leave the stick in the garage and wait for a better run. It’s a dry spell, but the ocean always comes back around.
Rusty.
