The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for El Caño de la Culata over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat and bleak. The entire 16-day forecast is a total write-off for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long, dry gap with no real swell to speak of. The first hint of any wave energy comes right at the very end, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
For the first week and a half, from Wednesday the 15th right through to the 24th of July, it’s almost all zeros on the wave energy. Most afternoons you’ll get a tiny, weak windswell bumping in at around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, with a shockingly short period of 2 to 3 seconds and combined energy barely hitting double digits. That’s not surf, that’s just a bump on the water. The mornings are totally flat. The wind is mostly a cross-offshore in the AM, which is clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The afternoon sea breeze fires up from the SW, turning it lumpy and choppy – not worth paddling out for.
The water is a notable 76° – that’s a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s much warmer than normal for a dip, but that’s the only highlight.
Finally, on the morning of Friday the 24th, we get a tiny pulse. A 2 ft swell from the SE with a period of 4 seconds and combined energy of 13. It’s clean with a cross-offshore wind, but it’s a pathetic little ripple. That’s the best we get, and it’s not good.
After that, it’s back to flat and clean mornings, with a few afternoons seeing stronger onshore winds (up to 22 mph) that would make it a total mess. The morning of the 26th has a whisper of a 0.7 ft SSE swell, but again, that’s just a ripple. The 30th of July morning has a light cross-shore breeze, but still no waves.
Look, for a sheltered spot like this, a blank run is normal when there’s no proper swell in the water. Don’t bother paddling out for at least two weeks. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a full-on flat spell. Stash the board and grab a beer.
Rusty.
