Alright folks, Rusty here in imperial. I've taken a long hard look at El Caño de la Culata and I've got to be straight with you – this 16-day window is a complete bust. From Friday July 10 right through to Saturday July 25, there's barely a ripple worth paddling for. Every single session in the forecast gets a zero rating, and the wave comment doesn't mince words: "poor surf conditions" over and over. The whole stretch is a write-off.
Now, El Caño itself is usually a fairly consistent little beginner-friendly wave when it gets the right S swell and a bit of offshore NNE breeze. But not this time. The tiny bits of swell we see are coming from the SW, W, and WSW – not the optimum S direction – and they're short-period wind slop of only 3 to 4 seconds, with combined wave energies barely reaching double digits (like 4, 5, 10 – weak stuff). The biggest height I can find is a measly 2 ft on a couple of afternoons, and even then the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. There's a brief moment on Sunday July 12 morning where the wind goes glassy, but with just 0.7 ft of swell you'd be floating, not surfing.
One thing that stands out: the water temperature is a roasting 77°F, which is a whopping 7° above the long-term average – that's very unusual for this time of year, so if you do want a swim, at least it's warm.
But for surfing? Forget it. This stretch is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, because there's plenty of wind but zero wave quality. A blank run like this isn't totally unheard of here, but the break is usually "fairly consistent" so it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can turn, but right now there's nothing to get excited about. I'll be watching for the next window.
Rusty.
