The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles.
We’re talking about El Penon Amador, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it – this 16-day stretch is a total dud. This is an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so it takes a perfect mix to get it going. We don’t have that. The entire forecast is marked with poor surf conditions. The wind is coming from the east-northeast, cross-shore, and it’s kicking up a messy, lumpy cross-chop. Water temp is 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first potential session on Tuesday, 14 July, shows a 3ft swell from the east at 8 seconds, but the NE wind is blowing 25 km/h and the combined energy is only 125 (weak). It’s ugly. The biggest push comes on Saturday afternoon, 18 July, with a 6ft east-northeast swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is still cross-shore at 35 km/h. The energy hits 275 (moderate), but the surf is still poor.
Monday morning, 27 July, has the highest energy of the whole run at 598 (moderate) with a 5ft east-northeast swell, but the wind is cross-shore again at 20 km/h, and the wave state is a moderate cross-chop. The same goes for Sunday morning, 26 July, with 5ft from the east-northeast and energy of 369 (moderate). There is no moment where the wind turns offshore or the surf cleans up.
For a spot that’s hard to catch working, this is a long dry spell. If you’re into kite surfing, the strong cross-shore winds might be your thing, but for a surfer looking for a rideable wave, there’s nothing here. The biggest gap is the whole 16 days – no standout, no hope. Forecasts can shift, but right now, I’d wait.
Rusty.
