Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's gonna be a tough run. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for most of the forecast period. The first real chance of getting wet doesn't pop up until Monday the 6th of July, but even then, it's pretty weak. We're looking at a tiny 1ft SSE swell with a short period of 5 seconds, combined energy of just 4, so it's really nothing to write home about. The wind is onshore, so it’s going to be messy. Honestly, for the first week, you're better off doing something else.
We do get a few pulses of small swell around the 10th and 11th of July, but the wave comment keeps saying "poor surf conditions." Friday the 10th has a 2ft WSW swell, which is still weak with 18 combined energy, and the wind is onshore making a mess of it. Saturday morning the 11th of July looks like the one highlight in this whole outlook. At El Caño de la Culata we get a glassy morning with a 1.3ft WSW groundswell. The period is 7 seconds, so it's not super long, but that glassy wind is a big deal. It'll be clean, just tiny. The combined energy is still low at 18, so it's not going to be powerful, but if you're a beginner, this is your window. It's a sheltered spot and described as fairly consistent for a beginner, but you might have to share it with a few others as crowds are listed as "sometimes."
After that, we're back to the same story. The rest of the second week is a washout – more onshore winds, tiny or no swell, and just no energy. For the next couple of weeks, this area is flat. If you've got a kite, the stronger afternoon onshore winds might get you going, but for a paddle surfer, it's a proper blank run.

Information about the El Caño de la Culata Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for El Caño de la Culata provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at El Caño de la Culata can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our El Caño de la Culata surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
