The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for El Caño de la Culata is a real struggle. There’s no good surf on offer at all. The data shows a long run of flat or near-flat conditions, with the combined swell energy never getting above a tiny 12 (weak energy). The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is about average for the time of year, not that it’ll do you any good with the lack of waves.
This is a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot, but it’s just not doing anything. The entire first week is a write-off. Thursday the 6th kicks off with a tiny 2 feet at 3 seconds from the WSW and a 15 mph cross-on wind making for choppy, poor surf. That’s the story for the whole week – mornings are often clean with cross-off or glassy winds, but there’s no swell to ride. Afternoons are ruined by onshore wind from the SW. You’ll see a few tiny bumps in the afternoon on the 9th (2 feet at 4 seconds) and the 10th (2 feet at 3 seconds), but with 15-18 mph cross-on wind, it’s just messy.
The second week doesn’t get any better. There’s a long stretch of zeros from the 11th right through to the 19th. The 19th of August is a bit of a tease with a 0.3 feet, 14-second groundswell from the south – that’s a very long period, but with only 8 weak energy and a cross-on wind, it’s not going to break properly. The 20th of August offers a morning with 2 feet, 3 seconds from the WNW and 12 mph cross-off wind, which sounds clean, but the swell is too weak and short to do anything. The 21st is more of the same.
Honestly, this is a blank run that’s normal for this area when things aren’t lining up. There’s just nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe the glassy mornings on the 13th, 14th, or 19th could be a flat-water session, but that’s about it. The forecast can change, but right now, this is a total bust.
Rusty.
