The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for El Caño de la Culata. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch ahead. This sheltered beginner spot isn’t seeing much action for a good long while. We’re looking at a solid gap of near-zero surf from now through to the 13th of September. After that, it’s a whole lot of tiny, weak, or messy conditions. There are no standout days to get excited about, so patience is gonna be key.
The first real chance to even get wet comes Monday morning, the 14th of September. We’re talking a tiny 0.7ft swell from the WSW with a 12-second period. Combined energy is only 14, which is barely a whisper. It’s clean with a light cross-off breeze, but honestly, it’s so small it’s only worth it for a beginner paddle.
Tuesday the 15th of September morning is a total tease: glassy conditions and a 1.0ft swell from the SSE, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the energy is a measly 5. It looks pretty but won’t offer any real push.
The rest of the week into the next is a write-off. Onshore winds chop up any tiny pulse that tries to show. A few mornings, like the 19th and 22nd, have a little 0.3ft to 0.7ft groundswell with a clean breeze, but it’s just not enough to surf on.
We do see a bump in size on Wednesday the 23rd of September morning. A 4ft swell from the SE, 5-second period, and energy of 71. That’s the biggest number of the whole run. But with that short period, it’ll be weak and crumbly. The wind is clean from the ENE, so the surface might look okay, but the wave quality will be poor. It’s not going to offer a proper ride.
To be plain, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. For a sheltered spot like this, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, leave the board at home and maybe keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.
