Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright folks, I’ve been pouring over the long-range, and I gotta level with you—it’s looking bleak out here. We’ve got a dry spell that’s gonna last from now, right through to the middle of July. That’s a solid 16-day stretch with barely a ripple to get your blood pumping. The water’s running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting about 71°, but that’s the only gift we’re getting.

For the entire forecast, the only break we’ve got intel on is El Caño de la Culata. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent little cove, real sheltered, and it needs a south swell to come alive. Problem is, that south swell just isn’t showing up.

Right off the bat, Friday July 3rd, we’ve got flat conditions with a light east cross-off breeze in the morn—clean, but nothing to surf. The afternoon throws up a weak 2ft SSE swell, but it’s only got 6 seconds of push and that onshore SSW wind is just killing it. Saturday’s the same story: flat mornings, a pathetic 1ft dribble in the afternoon. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday... it’s rinse and repeat. Tiny slop with onshore wind.

There are a few clean moments. Monday morning the 6th is dead glassy, but the swell is only 1ft—not enough to ride. Thursday the 9th morning is also dead calm and glassy, but flat as a pancake. Friday the 10th morning has a 2ft W swell (real weak energy here) with a clean cross-off breeze, so that’s probably your best chance, but it’s still tiny.

Then Saturday the 11th morning shows a 0.3ft SW groundswell with a 12-second period and cross-off wind, so the surface will be clean, but it’s barely a bump.

To be honest, the more interesting action here looks like it’d be for the kite surfers in the afternoons when that SSW wind kicks up, but for a regular paddle surfer, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. If you’re dying for a session, the cleanest windows with the absolute most energy are the mornings of the 10th and 11th, but don’t expect much. The blank runs happen, and forecasts can always flip, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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. If you surf the same spot (El Caño de la Culata) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for El Caño de la Culata may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
