Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for us. The first big chunk, from Sunday the 5th right through to almost the end of the second week, is a real dry spell. You’re looking at a solid 12 to 13 days of tiny, weak surf with combined energy readings barely getting into double digits (35 is the highest early on). That’s just not enough to get excited about. We’ve got a few little bumpy ones, but nothing that’d make you rush to the water.
The only spot in the game is El Sardinero - Segunda, a beach and rocks setup that’s fairly consistent but here it’s just not working. Early on, winds are onshore or cross-off, and the swell is mostly under 2 ft with short, weak periods. That’s a shallow, choppy mess. A couple afternoons, like Sunday the 12th, have a moderate breeze from the west, but with only 2 ft of NW swell and weak energy (62), it’s still a no-go for a proper wave.
Now, hang in there because there is a glimmer. On Saturday the 18th, things suddenly wake up. We get a noticeable jump to 4 ft - 4 ft of NW swell with a proper period (11 seconds), and the combined energy shoots up to 314 - 347. That’s a moderate energy event and the first real pulse we’ve seen. The catch? It’s coming with a moderate easterly breeze that pushes onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not perfect, but it’s the best we’ll get all forecast. The water temp on the 5th was 71°, which is 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable warm anomaly, so the water feels nice if you’re in it.
Then it fades fast. The 19th and 20th are back to flat glass or clean but empty conditions.
So, the only real standout is that Saturday 18th. It’s not world-class, but a pulse of 4 ft NW swell (optimum direction is NNW for this spot) is the only time you’ll need to paddle out. The wind won’t be perfect, but if you’re hungry for a wave, that’s your window. Beyond that, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
