Alright folks, I’ve been pouring over the long-range, and I gotta level with you—it’s looking bleak out here. We’ve got a dry spell that’s gonna last from now, right through to the middle of July. That’s a solid 16-day stretch with barely a ripple to get your blood pumping. The water’s running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting about 71°, but that’s the only gift we’re getting.
For the entire forecast, the only break we’ve got intel on is El Caño de la Culata. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent little cove, real sheltered, and it needs a south swell to come alive. Problem is, that south swell just isn’t showing up.
Right off the bat, Friday July 3rd, we’ve got flat conditions with a light east cross-off breeze in the morn—clean, but nothing to surf. The afternoon throws up a weak 2ft SSE swell, but it’s only got 6 seconds of push and that onshore SSW wind is just killing it. Saturday’s the same story: flat mornings, a pathetic 1ft dribble in the afternoon. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday... it’s rinse and repeat. Tiny slop with onshore wind.
There are a few clean moments. Monday morning the 6th is dead glassy, but the swell is only 1ft—not enough to ride. Thursday the 9th morning is also dead calm and glassy, but flat as a pancake. Friday the 10th morning has a 2ft W swell (real weak energy here) with a clean cross-off breeze, so that’s probably your best chance, but it’s still tiny.
Then Saturday the 11th morning shows a 0.3ft SW groundswell with a 12-second period and cross-off wind, so the surface will be clean, but it’s barely a bump.
To be honest, the more interesting action here looks like it’d be for the kite surfers in the afternoons when that SSW wind kicks up, but for a regular paddle surfer, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. If you’re dying for a session, the cleanest windows with the absolute most energy are the mornings of the 10th and 11th, but don’t expect much. The blank runs happen, and forecasts can always flip, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
