The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. Honestly, things are looking pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. The only spot that’s even on the radar is El Caño de la Culata, and it’s a real sheltered, beginner-friendly wave. It needs a south swell to light up, and we just aren’t getting that.
From right now through the end of July and into the first week of August, it’s a total flat spell. The swell is tiny, hitting maybe 1 ft to 2 ft, with periods of just 3 to 5 seconds. That’s weak, wind-blown junk. The combined wave energy is basically nothing, registering values like 4 or 5 (just a handful of energy). The wind is almost always cross-onshore, out of the SE and SW, messing up the already tiny surf. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions or a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, but there’s zero swell to ride. It’s a real bummer.
We get a few afternoons in early August where the swell tries to push up to 2 ft or 2 ft, from the W or WSW, but the period is still a lousy 3 seconds, and the wind is cranking cross-onshore at 15 to 22 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. Not worth the effort.
The only glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, August 11. The morning has a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW, and the swell bumps up to 2 ft from the west, with a period of 4 seconds. The combined energy finally climbs to 9 (still weak, but it’s something). The wind is clean, so the surface will be smooth. It’s small and short-period, so it’s a beginner-friendly wave, but it’s the best on offer. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s back to flat, clean mornings with no swell, then windy, choppy afternoons through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, August 12.
So, the standout here is the Tuesday, August 11 morning session at El Caño de la Culata. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s your only clean shot at a wave. If you’re a beginner or just want to get out there, that’s the time.
