The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get straight to it.
We’re looking at El Sardinero - Segunda (El Sardinero). I’ll be honest, looking at the whole 16-day run, there isn’t a single standout day. It’s a tough outlook. The first surfable wave doesn’t show up until July 24th, so we’ve got a solid 10-day gap from now with nothing worth paddling for.
The first glimmer of hope comes early on Friday morning, July 24th. That morning we get a bit of a lift with a 3 ft NW swell. The wind goes glassy, and the combined energy hits 117 – that's moderate energy – so it’s clean but ordinary. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. That’s the only moment in the entire period with any real potential. The crowd factor says ‘sometimes,’ so you might have a few friends out.
After that, the rest of the forecast slides back into small, weak swells and poor conditions. Through late July, we get some clean-looking mornings with light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny, around 2 ft to 3 ft, with low period, so it’ll be gutless.
Bottom line: there’s one day, July 24th morning, with glassy conditions and a knee-high wave. That’s it. For this area, a flat spell like this isn’t unusual. Keep an eye on the forecasts – they can change.
