The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. I've been staring at the charts for El Caño de la Culata for the next couple of weeks, and to be brutally honest, it's looking like a flat spell. There just isn't any meaningful surf on the horizon for this spot. The data shows a whole lot of nothing – days and days of "poor surf conditions" – stretching right through the end of August and into the first half of September. We're talking a good solid two weeks, from the 29th of August up to the 13th of September, where there's no recommendation to be had.
Now, on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, we get a tiny blip of life. We're looking at a tiny 0.7ft swell coming from the WSW with a period of 11 seconds. The combined swell energy is a mere 12, so it's weak. Still, the wind is glassy. That's a rare, clean window, but the wave size is truly ankle-snapping. The water temp is sitting at about 71°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The next morning on Sunday the 6th, it's clean with a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE, but again, there's no swell recorded. Same story for the 8th of September – Tuesday morning we get a tiny 0.7ft pulse from the WSW, period 10 seconds, with a clean offshore wind from the north. The combined energy is 17. Still weak. This is not surf for a paddle, but if you're desperate for a float on a log or a glide on a foil, maybe.
Further out, the morning of Thursday the 10th of September shows 0.7ft from the WSW with a 4-second period, so just wind chop really. Then on Friday the 11th, there's a 0.3ft, 17-second long-period groundswell from the SW in the morning with glassy conditions, and a 0.7ft, 15-second swell from the WSW that afternoon. The combined energy on that afternoon bumps up to 22, which is still barely a ripple. This is as close to a standout as we get, and it's still a long shot.
The morning of Saturday the 12th of September has another glassy, clean window with 0.7ft from the WSW, period 13 seconds (17 energy). And Sunday the 13th of September is completely glassy with no wind and a 0.7ft, 10-second period swell from the WSW (9 energy), but again, that's just flat.
Look, this is one of those blank runs for the area. The light offshore and glassy conditions are there for a few moments, but without any push from the ocean, there's nothing to ride. Forecasts can change, but right now, keep the board in the car and maybe take up kitesurfing if the wind picks up, because the paddle surfing outlook is completely bust.
