The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for El Sardinero - Segunda.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the first twelve days of this forecast are a total flat spell. From August 8th all the way through August 19th, there’s nothing doing. The combined swell energy barely hits 80 (80) on the best day, and most of the time it’s a big fat zero or single digits. You’ll see some tiny 0.3ft ripples, but the surf conditions are marked as poor every session. Don’t bother.
Then, finally, on Thursday morning, August 20th, we get a little pulse. The morning looks best: clean, 3ft of swell from the NW, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 118 (118) and the wind is glassy. That’s the first real chance to get wet. It’s not going to be epic, but for a beach and rocks setup, that clean glass will be the most fun you’ll have all week. Expect crowds to be possible, since it’s the first decent wave in a while.
Friday August 21st sees a little more size – 3ft from the NW – and energy jumps to 205 (205), but it’s wrecked by a strong onshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph in the morning, gusting to 15 mph in the afternoon. That’ll be choppy and blown out.
Saturday August 22nd is your other standout. Morning looks magic again: glassy, 3ft of NW swell, 9-second period, and a solid 166 (166) combined energy. The afternoon brings a moderate offshore wind from the west, keeping it clean, but there’s a chance of rain showers. For a spot that’s been flat for nearly two weeks, this is the window to aim for. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, it fades right back to nothing on the 23rd.
So, if you’re itching for a wave, the glassy mornings of Thursday August 20th or Saturday August 22nd are your best bets. The swell is small, but clean winds will make it fun for an intermediate. Beginners will be fine on the size, but the quality is just ordinary. Experts won’t find enough push.
That’s the long and short of it.
Rusty.
