Alright, let me level with you. I’ve looked through the next 16 days, and honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. It's a long, dry stretch ahead.
The only spot on the radar is El Caño de la Culata, a sheltered beginner break. The water is sitting at 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about it.
From Tuesday, July 7th, all the way through to Wednesday, July 22nd, it’s flat or blown out. Most days show zero combined swell energy (0). When a tiny ripple shows, it’s only 0.7ft to 2ft with a period of 2 to 4 seconds – just junk wind swell. The wind is mostly hammering onshore from the SW at 15 to 22 mph, making a real mess of things. Every single window is marked as “poor surf conditions.”
There are a few glassy or light cross-off mornings, like Tuesday, July 7th, and Sunday, July 12th. The water would look clean, but with no swell, you’re just sitting there. For a beginner, that Tuesday morning with the 1ft glass is the only slight window, and that’s being generous. The quality just isn’t there.
This is a normal flat spell for this area. If you’re itching, that Tuesday morning is your only chance for a float, but don’t hold your breath. Looks more like a kiter’s window than a paddle surfer’s right now.
Stay patient.
