The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee. Rusty here, taking a long hard look at what we’ve got coming down the pipe for El Sardinero - Segunda. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it ain’t a stellar outlook by any stretch. The first week or so is pretty grim, with a whole lotta nothing happening. It’s gonna take a while before we even get anything worth paddling out for.
Right out of the gate, from July 26th through to early August, the ocean is basically taking a nap. There are some days with tiny, wind-chopped waves, but nothing that’s gonna get you out of bed. It’s a real dry spell, hanging in there for a week or more. We get a little tease on the morning of August 4th, with a 4ft NW groundswell showing up. That’s a moderate wave energy push (188), and there’s some good news with the wind – it’s a light cross-offshore from the WNW. That should keep the surface clean. This will be the first real chance to get wet, but it’s still just "surfable," not firing.
The standout, and I mean the *one* real bright spot in this entire window, is the morning of Friday, August 7th. This is a solid contest. We’ve got a proper NW swell hitting 5ft (combined energy of 397 – that’s the strongest we see). The period is 9 seconds, so it’s got some push, and the wind is a clean, cross-offshore from the WNW. That’s the magic combo for El Sardinero. It’s going to offer the best shaped, cleanest waves of the whole 16 days. There’s a crowd to think about here – it's classified as "sometimes" busy, so you’ll have company for this one. Because it’s a beach and rocks setup, that long period (though not super long) should wrap in nicely. But at 5ft, that’s getting into the territory where beginners might struggle a bit.
The water temp at the start is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you can leave the 4/3 at home.
After that Friday, it looks like the surf drops off a cliff again, with another gap of several days of weak or non-existent surf through to the end of the forecast period on August 10th.
So, to wrap it up: grind through the quiet first week. You get a mediocre session on the 4th, but the real best on offer is the morning of Friday the 7th. Go get some.
