The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for El Caño de la Culata over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a lean stretch. This is a sheltered little beginner spot, and it’s just not catching much love from the ocean for most of this forecast. We’re looking at a long, long gap before anything worth paddling out for.
For the first week and a half, from Monday the 24th of August right through to Friday the 5th of September, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is barely there, and when there is a tiny bump, the wind is almost always nasty – cross-onshore or onshore, chopping everything up. There’s a couple of fleeting moments with clean offshore winds, but the swell is either non-existent or a pathetic 0.7 ft of long-period swell. That long period stuff (15 seconds) at a beach setup like this tends to just roll through fat and straight with no push. Not worth the wetsuit.
Finally, things get a bit interesting on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. We get a little pulse of swell from the southeast at 3 ft, with a clean, gentle cross-offshore breeze from the east. The wave energy is still only moderate (51). It’s a small window, and for a beginner spot, that’s about as good as it gets here in this window.
After that, it dries right back up again. The following morning on the 6th is tiny and cross-onshore, and from the 7th into the 8th we get some longer-period groundswell pulses (15-17 seconds) arriving, but the swell height is tiny at 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft, and the wind turns onshore again, making for messy, unsurfable conditions.
So the standout – and really the only one – is Saturday the 5th of September morning. It’s not a stunner, but with clean conditions and a touch of small, ridable swell, it’s your best bet. Don't hold your breath for the rest of the fortnight.
Rusty.
