The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, for El Caño de la Culata, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak and flat. There’s a big, quiet gap from now all the way through the weekend. The first tiny chance of a wave doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday, September 14th. That morning, we might see a little 3ft SE swell, but it’s short-period stuff, only about 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 61. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but you’re really hunting for something to ride. That’s honestly the best we get in the whole 16 days, and it’s still a poor call.
The next morning, Tuesday the 15th, is similar: 2ft from the SE with a light offshore breeze. Again, short period and weak energy (49). If you’re itching for a paddle, those two mornings are your only real options. The break is sheltered and fairly consistent, so it doesn’t take much, but the quality just isn’t there.
For the rest of the period, the surf is so poor and the afternoon winds are so consistently onshore from the SW, that it’s probably more interesting for a kite session than for paddle surfing. There’s no standout swell, no long-period groundswell to get excited about. It’s just a long, flat spell with a couple of tiny, weak pulses. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
