The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at El Lloret for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is filled with poor surf conditions, and there’s not a single standout wave in the mix. The main issue is that the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore for the entire period, which is going to make the surface messy and lumpy. The swell is mostly coming from the NNE, but the period is short, mostly between 7 and 8 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly, and won’t have any punch. The combined wave energy, while hitting moderate numbers, just can’t overcome that constant breeze.
We start off on Monday the 3rd of August with a 4ft NNE swell (7-second period), but that NNW wind at 9 mph is blowing straight onshore, making it a poor surf call. That same pattern drags on into Tuesday and Wednesday, with the swell building to 6ft, but the wind gets stronger, up to 12 mph from the north. By Thursday the 6th, we’re looking at 7ft NNE swell, but with a 16 mph onshore wind, it’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. That’s too much size for beginners, but the poor quality means it’s not even good for the crew who can handle it.
The first week just keeps the same vibe: moderate onshore breezes and short-period swell. On Saturday the 8th, we get a cross-onshore wind, which will make it choppy. The surf does dip to 3ft on the morning of Sunday the 9th, but the wind is still onshore at 12 mph. The second week looks no better, with the same pattern of 5ft to 6ft short-period swell and relentless onshore winds. The last day in the window, Tuesday the 18th, has the wind picking up to 19 mph, which is just a full-on blowout.
Given this is a reef break that’s consistent, it’s a shame to see it so persistently wind-affected. There’s just no good time to paddle out. If you’re a beginner, steer clear of the bigger days. For the more experienced lot, the constant wind and short period mean the setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Keep an eye on the forecast, though – it tends not to stay this poor for too long.
Rusty.
