The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at El Caño de la Culata. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean spell. The forecast is filled with a whole lot of nothing for days on end, so don’t be racing to grab your board just yet.
The outlook starts with a gap. We’ve got a run of flat, poor surf conditions from Wednesday 9th September all the way through to Sunday 13th September. The swell is non-existent, and when the wind does blow, it’s mostly onshore or cross-on, messing up whatever tiny ripple might appear. It’s a quiet, frustrating start.
Monday 14th September sees a tiny pulse of life, but it’s barely a whisper. A long-period groundswell from the SW, 12 seconds, bumps into a 0.3ft wave. The combined energy is only 5 (weak). The morning looks clean with a cross-off breeze, but the afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-on. Still, not worth getting wet for.
The rest of that week, from Tuesday 15th up to and including the weekend, the story is the same: nothing doing. Flat spells, onshore winds, and zero surf. There are a few glassy mornings on Friday 11th and Monday 21st, but with no swell, it’s just a pretty pond. There is a little bump on Monday 22nd September – again, 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the WSW with a long period of 12-13 seconds – but the combined energy is still 7-14 (weak). Tuesday afternoon is onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty.
To be honest, the very best of a bad run might be Thursday 24th September morning. You’ll get a 0.3ft SW groundswell, period 11 seconds, and glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze. It’s tiny, and the combined energy is just 5 (weak), but if you’re desperate for a longboard and some clean, smooth water, that’s your window. For a sheltered beginner spot like this, the water is a touch warmer than normal at 74°, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you wait for something that never really shows up.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any real surf. This is one of those times the ocean just takes a nap. Don’t force it.
