The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. Looking at the charts for our local waters, it’s a grim outlook, mate. We’re looking at a solid 16 days with hardly a wave worth paddling for.
The only break showing any life at all is El Caño de la Culata. It’s an easy, beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, but it’s sheltered, so it needs a very specific swell direction to work.
The first chance of anything comes on Wednesday, 2nd September. The morning shows a tiny 0.3ft south swell, with a very long 14-second period, but the combined wave energy is only 4—that’s basically flat. The wind is a light NE at 6 mph, blowing offshore, so the surface is clean, but you’ll be bobbing around on a lake. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the SW at 9 mph, making it choppy.
Thursday the 3rd offers a clean morning with light E winds at 9 mph blowing cross-offshore, but again, there’s only 0.3ft of weak swell. The afternoon dies completely with onshore wind and zero swell.
Friday the 4th morning is glassy with a light WNW breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is a measly 0.3ft with a short, weak 7-second period. It’s flat calm pretty. Same story on Saturday the 5th morning—glassy, but flat. By Saturday afternoon, the wind jumps to 16 mph from the WSW, turning it into a washing machine.
Then comes a massive dry spell. From Sunday the 6th all the way through to Tuesday the 15th of September, it’s almost entirely flat. There is a tiny bump on Monday the 7th morning with a 0.7ft WSW swell and a moderate 14-second period (energy at 22), but the wind is crossed-up on it. The "biggest" pulse of the whole 16 days hits Tuesday the 15th afternoon: a 3ft swell from the SSE, but with a short 5-second period and weak energy of 24. The wind is howling straight onshore from the SW at 12 mph, so it’ll be blown to bits and unsurfable.
The last couple of days on Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th stay tiny, with 0.7ft swells and some glassy mornings, but the afternoon winds ruin any potential.
Honestly, there is not one good session in this entire forecast. It’s just flat with bad winds. This kind of a blank run is pretty normal for this area when the conditions don't line up. Don't get too down—forecasts shift, but for now, the boards can stay in the van.
