The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for El Penon Amador over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough read. For the first week and a half, there’s basically nothing doing. The surf window is wide open, but the ocean is just not cooperating.
The first real chance we get is on the morning of Thursday, 18 September. We’ll see a tiny pulse of swell – 3ft from the east with a short period of 6 seconds. That’s weak, weak energy (78) and the wind is a cross-shore breeze. It’s not going to be good, but it’s the first sign of life after a long, flat spell.
Things get a little more interesting on Saturday, 19 September. The morning looks glassy with a light wind from the ENE, and there’s a 2ft east swell. The conditions could be clean, but the swell is small and the period is still short (7 seconds). It’s a real long shot for a fun little wave.
The standout, and I’m being careful here, is the morning of Friday, 25 September. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the north with a 10-second period. The energy is moderate (128) and the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the east. That’s the best combination of the whole run. The water is a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no worries there.
The rest of the run is plagued by fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, with swell heights barely ticking over. For a spot that’s advanced and inconsistent, this is a bleak stretch. The pickings are so slim, I’d say the only day worth a look is that Friday the 25th morning, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor. There’s just not much to get excited about.
