The Lowdown
Alright, ol' mate Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and talk about what's on offer.
It's a bit of a slow start for us, with the first week looking pretty grim. We’ve got a lot of small, weak energy and wind that just won't play nice. The water’s sitting at 51°F at the start, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's something.
For the first few days, from the 31st of August through to the 6th of September, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. On the 5th, the swell bumps up to 6 ft from the SW, but the wind is a fresh 30 km/h from the SSW, which just turns it into a lumpy mess. It's not worth paddling out for.
There’s a bit of a gap there, but things finally start to look up on the 7th of September. The Monday morning at El Muelle is a real standout. We've got a glassy 4 ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light Easterly at 5 km/h. The combined energy is moderate (394), and the conditions are clean. This is your window for a proper session.
After that, it drops right back off again. The 8th, 9th, and 10th are all poor with small waves and lousy wind. But then, the real gem of the outlook pops up on the 11th of September. Friday morning and afternoon at El Muelle are looking very good. The swell is 5 ft to 6 ft from the SSW, with a 9-second period, and the wind is light and offshore (NW) or variable. The combined energy jumps up to strong (556 to 862). This is a solid, clean swell with good shape. The rest of the 16-day run on the 12th, 13th, and 14th is marginal at best, with small, ordinary waves.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a total dud. Your best bet is the glassy morning of the 7th of September, but the real standout is the 11th of September, with the SSW swell and clean offshore winds. If you can wait, that's the day to be on the water.
Rusty.
