Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a 16-day look at El Caño de la Culata, and I’ve got to be honest with you—it’s a rough stretch. The forecast is pretty much a bust for any decent surf. There’s a big gap of no real action from the start, all the way through. We’re looking at a solid week and a half of flatness or junk.
The first hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Wednesday, July 8th, in the afternoon, and even then it’s just a tiny 1 ft swell from the south with a weak 3-second period. The combined energy is a measly 1—barely a ripple. The wind is onshore and messy, so forget about it. That’s the story for most of the first week: tiny, weak, and blown out.
We do get a little bump on Thursday, July 9th, in the afternoon with 2 ft from the WSW, but it’s onshore at 19 mph, so it’s a choppy mess. The energy only hits 8. Not worth paddling out for.
The pattern continues all the way through the second week. There’s a moment on Tuesday, July 14th, in the morning when the wind goes glassy and we see a 0.3 ft swell from the SW with a long 12-second period. That’s a groundswell signal, but it’s just a whisper—combined energy of 6. It’s a tease, not a session.
The most promising window doesn’t arrive until Saturday, July 19th, in the afternoon, and even then it’s only 1 ft at 5 seconds from the west, with onshore wind. The energy is 4. Then on Monday, July 21st, we get a morning with 2 ft from the SSE, clean cross-offshore wind, and energy climbing to 11. That’s the best we’ll see, but it’s still tiny. For a beginner spot that’s sheltered, this is barely a wave.
Water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual. The water feels like bathwater, but unfortunately, there’s nothing to ride.
Look, there are no standouts here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. No break is worth highlighting. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer, but it happens. Forecasts change, so don’t lose hope, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
