Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about El Caño de la Culata.
Honestly, the next 16 days are looking like a bit of a flat spell. There’s no proper surf on offer right now to get excited about. We’re talking a stretch of tiny, weak waves – if any – and it’s not really surfable. You’ll see a lot of zeros in the swell energy, with the odd little pulse of swell energy up to just 8 (that’s weak) mid-period, but it’s all under 2 ft and messy.
Forget the board for a while. The water temp sits around 73° on the 5th, and the anomaly tells us it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant enough for a swim or a paddle, but that’s about it.
The first real kick of anything is on Tuesday the 14th. You get a tiny 0.3 ft swell but with a period of 10 seconds – that’s at least some groundswell character, but it’s barely there. The combined swell energy is only 4 in the morning and 8 in the afternoon – still weak. Winds are cross-offshore from the NNW in the morning, so the surface will be clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. By the afternoon, it’s onshore again.
Through the second week, from the 15th onward, there’s nothing that breaks the pattern. A few afternoons see a 1 ft to 2 ft wave show up, but it’s always accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore winds from the SW or WSW, making it lumpy and chopped out. Swell energy peaks at just 8. It’s not going to be worth the effort.
This spot is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent wave when there’s swell, but it’s sheltered and just not catching anything meaningful in this forecast. For now, it’s a total blank run. If you’re desperate for something wet, the setup here with the onshore winds and tiny waves would honestly be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling out on a surfboard. There’s simply no standout day. Let’s hope the charts look better next time.
Rusty.
