The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve been over the charts for our stretch of coast, and it’s a real bummer. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with no decent surf on the cards for the next 16 days. The swell energy is flat or just too weak and sloppy to bother with. Honestly, leave the board at home.
This quiet spell starts now and just keeps going. The first bit of movement is on Sunday afternoon, August 2nd, at El Caño de la Culata. There’s a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, but it’s getting hammered by 19 mph onshore wind. The combined swell energy is only 11—weak and ugly. After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Day after day, we’re seeing flat spells or tiny 0.7ft to 1ft slop with short periods of 3–4 seconds, and the wind is either cross-off or onshore. Not worth the drive.
The best of a bad run might be the final Sunday, August 16th, afternoon. We get a small 3ft swell from the WSW with a 5-second period and combined energy of 33—the highest we see—but the wind is still onshore at 9 mph. It’s not clean and it’s not powerful. Water temp is around 70°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
El Caño de la Culata is a sheltered beginner spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but nothing is lining up here. The ideal swell direction is from the south, and we’re only seeing weak pulses from the WSW. On a few mornings, the wind is light and cross-off, so the surface is clean, but the swell is just too small to ride.
This is a dead run. For this area, these quiet stretches happen. The forecasts can shift, but right now, there’s nothing to get fired up about. If you’re keen to get wet, pick a clean morning and bring a log for the ankle-biters.
Rusty.
