The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for most of the period. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak energy, but there are a couple of windows where it might just be enough to get wet.
The first surfable days are this Saturday and Monday, September 5th and 7th, but don’t expect anything special. On Saturday morning, El Conquistador has a tiny 1.3ft swell from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 53. It’s cloudy with a gentle offshore breeze from the East, keeping things clean. The waves are surfable but very ordinary. The afternoon looks the same.
Monday, September 7th, is a bit of a standout in this flat spell. The morning goes glassy with a light NNW wind at 3 mph. The swell is still only 1.3ft, but it’s from the NW with an 11-second period. The energy is still weak at 52. The real treat is the glassy conditions making it clean. The afternoon sees the swell pick up to 2ft with a 12-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze, energy climbing to 66. For these tiny waves, it’s about as good as it gets.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, no major anomalies to report.
After Tuesday, September 8th, the surf drops off again. Conditions degrade with poor surf quality and cross-onshore winds kicking in by the 12th and 13th. There’s a long gap of weak or poor surf through the middle of the month.
Looking ahead, the second week brings a slight pulse of energy. Sunday, September 20th, shows a 1.3ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period and clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 107. It’s a promising sign, but it’s far out and uncertain. Given the long period, this southwest swell will be better lined up at El Conquistador, which is a beach and reef setup exposed to the south. The offshore wind is East, but the 17-second period means the waves will have plenty of energy, though they might wall up a bit on the beach. If you’re an experienced surfer, it’s worth a look.
The best bet overall is Monday, September 7th. The tiny 1.3ft to 2ft swell, glassy or clean winds, and the consistent setup make it the best window in a very flat run. Crowds are possible at El Conquistador as it’s very consistent.
