Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on the surf for the next couple weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this ain’t a pretty picture. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch, so don’t be too eager.
The run starts out dead quiet from Wednesday the 8th, and it’s gonna stay that way for a long while. The water’s reading a balmy 77° – that’s 8° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is weird and tropical, but it doesn’t put a ripple on the surface.
We get a couple of tiny bumps. Thursday afternoon the 9th might show a 0.4 ft swell from the WSW with a snappy 3-second period, but the wind’s howling onshore from the SW at 15 mph. That’s just blown-out slop. The energy is nil (combined energy of all swells directed here is only 4). Not worth the walk.
The weekend’s a dud. Saturday the 11th, Sunday the 12th – swell stays under 0.4 ft, period’s tiny, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore and choppy. You get a glassy morning Sunday the 12th when the wind drops to 3 mph from the NE, but with waves only 0.2 ft, it’s a pond.
We scrape through the second week. Monday the 13th through Sunday the 20th are all the same: clean mornings with offshore breezes, but absolutely no swell (energy values of 0). The afternoons get a little bumpy with 0.4 ft to 0.6 ft waves from the west and southwest, but those short periods (3 to 4 seconds) and strong onshore winds (up to 19 mph) make it choppy junk. Max energy for the whole run is just 10.
There’s a tiny flicker on Wednesday the 22nd. We get a glassy morning with a 0.3 ft swell from the SE, period of 3 seconds. It’s clean, but it’s flat. Combined energy is just 1. If you’re mad keen on a longboard, maybe you can knee-paddle a ripple, but I wouldn’t.
That’s it. There are no standouts. This break at El Caño de la Culata is sheltered and needs a proper S swell to work, and we ain’t got it. For the first week and a half, you’re better off looking at a kite when the wind’s up – the afternoons with 15-19 mph cross-onshore winds and 0.6 ft whitewash look more interesting for that than for a paddle surf. It doesn’t stay this poor forever, but this is a real dead spell.
Keep the wax in the car, mates.
Rusty.
