The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's cut to it: El Sardinero - Segunda is looking dead for the next two weeks plus. This stretch is a total dud, even for a spot that usually gets a few waves.
Right now, Thursday morning July 16th, there's a pathetic 0.7 ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period and combined energy of 7. Water temp is 71°, a touch warmer than normal – but who cares when there's nothing to surf. The afternoon gets worse with a risk of thunderstorms. Friday and Saturday stay tiny and choppy.
Sunday the 19th morning turns glassy but still only 1 ft. Then the week from Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd is almost flat, with strong onshore winds wrecking anything. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th offer glassy conditions but swell is just 0.3 ft – pointless.
The only blip comes Saturday afternoon July 26th: a 5 ft NW swell with a 7-second period, energy 216, but cross-shore wind makes it messy. The next morning Sunday the 27th: 4 ft NW, cross-offshore wind, 8-second period, energy 155 – rideable but ordinary, scoring a 1 out of 10. That's as good as it gets, which says it all.
Then it fades again. Friday July 31st morning gives a 3 ft NW swell, 10-second period, cross-offshore wind, energy 136 – again, barely worth it. The afternoon picks up to 3 ft but with cross-shore wind.
Bottom line: no good surf in the 16-day window. This break is usually fairly consistent, but it's a dry spell right now. Forecasts can shift, but don't hold your breath. Hang loose.
Rusty.
