The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking at the next 16 days for El Caño de la Culata, and honestly, there's just nothing doing. The whole period is a write-off for any decent surf.
Let's walk through it. From now through the end of the month, we're stuck with a whole lot of nothing. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, often from the SW, and the few scraps of swell that show up are tiny and weak. There's a bit of a pulse on the 15th with a 3ft WSW swell, but the combined energy is only 16 (weak) and the wind is cross-onshore, so it'll be a choppy mess. The water temp is about 71°, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing weird there.
Later on, around the 19th, we see a few little 0.3ft pulses with a longer period of 14 seconds, but with combined energy of just 4 (weak) and onshore winds, it's not even worth a mention. The whole stretch from the 8th of August all the way through to the 23rd is a blank run. Every single entry says "poor surf conditions."
In a spot like this, a dry spell isn't surprising. Don't hold your breath. When the charts look this flat for that long, you just have to wait for the next system to roll through. Forecasts can always change, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
