The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the forecast for El Caño de la Culata over the next 16 days, it’s a pretty flat spell. There are no real surf options on the table. The whole run is marked by tiny, weak, or non-existent swell, and the little bumps that do show up are all labelled "poor surf conditions." We’re looking at a long stretch with almost nothing to get excited about. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than not – it’s a sheltered spot, so it takes a lot to get it going.
The first couple of days, starting Saturday the 5th, are a write-off. You’ve got a little 2 ft SE windswell, but with a period of only 3 seconds, it’s just mushy. The combined energy is a measly 5, which is basically nothing. The wind is glassy on Saturday morning, but there’s just no wave to surf. By Sunday the 6th, the swell drops to 0.3 ft, and it stays that way or is completely flat right through the week. You’ll see some long-period energy from the SW on the 7th and 8th, with a period up to 14 seconds, but the height is 0.3 ft – it’s a ghost swell. The combined energy on those days is still in the single digits or low teens. It’s a tease.
We get a tiny blip on Wednesday the 16th, with a 0.7 ft WSW swell and a 14-second period, giving a combined energy of 20. That’s still almost nothing. The morning of the 17th is glassy with a 0.7 ft, 12-second swell, but again, it’s not enough to push a proper wave. The very end of the window, the 18th, shows a 1 ft SSE swell, but it’s windswell with a 3-second period and practically no energy (2). Don’t even think about it.
There’s simply nothing to recommend. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that doesn’t help when there’s no surf. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a total dud.
