The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to the chase – this forecast for El Caño de la Culata from Thursday, September 3rd through Friday, September 18th is a real bummer. There’s simply no surf to get excited about. The first entry shows flat conditions on Thursday afternoon, and it’s a long dry spell from there.
We kick off with nothing on the 3rd. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th offer a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE with a period of 4 seconds – that’s just wind slop, not a real wave. The combined energy is a weak 4, so don’t bother. The water is 69°F, which is about 2°F colder than average for this time of year. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, so the little bumps are messy.
Sunday the 6th is glassy in the morning, but flat. Same story all week. A few 0.3ft to 0.7ft pulses from the SW or WSW show up with periods of 12 to 14 seconds, but the height is too small to break. The energy is still weak – between 6 and 17.
The second week is just as empty. From Monday the 14th through Friday the 18th, we’re looking at 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves with poor conditions. The wind is often onshore or cross-on, making it choppy. A couple of mornings are glassy or clean, but with no swell, it’s just a flat ocean.
The best option? There isn’t one. The only 2ft, 4-second swell on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th afternoons comes with cross-on winds and chop – not worth paddling out. This sheltered beach break could be a fun beginner spot with proper swell, but right now it’s a kiteboarding zone if anything. For surfers, it’s a total blank. Forecasts can change, but this is a rare flat spell for the area.
Rusty.
