The Lowdown
Alright, let’s keep it real. This 16-day window is a total dud for surf. The energy is just non-existent, and when a little bump shows up, the wind is all wrong.
The only break in the game is El Caño de la Culata, a sheltered beginner spot. The water’s a warm 73°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year. The problem is the swell. It’s tiny and weak. On the afternoon of July 20th, we’ve got a 2ft wave from the WSW with a pathetic 3-second period and a combined energy of 7 (moderate). The wind is cross-onshore at 16 mph, so it’s just choppy and messy.
It doesn’t get any better. Through the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd of July, we see the same story: 1ft to 2ft swells, short periods, and cross-onshore winds. The afternoon of the 25th of July shows a slightly bigger 2ft wave from the WSW with a 4-second period and energy hitting 15, but it’s still cross-onshore. The morning of the 26th of July is clean with a light offshore breeze from the NNE, but the ocean is flat.
The afternoon of the 28th of July has the biggest swell of the bunch, a 3ft wave from the SSE with a 6-second period and combined energy of 34, but it’s still a cross-onshore, choppy mess. The afternoon of the 30th of July and the morning of the 31st of July are glassy and clean, but flat. The 3rd of August morning offers a tiny 1.0ft wave from the SE with a 3-second period and a clean offshore, but it’s barely a ripple.
Plain and simple, there’s nothing here. It’s all small, weak, and mostly onshore. For a sheltered beginner spot, this is a total bust. The kite surfers might get a kick out of the consistent cross-onshore winds, but for a proper surf, it’s a long, flat wait.
