The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's break down what's going on at El Sardinero - Segunda. I'll be honest, it's gonna be a slow start. The water temp is a comfy 69°, right around average for this time of year.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are dead flat with lousy onshore winds. Nothing to ride. Tuesday the 15th brings a light offshore breeze, but the swell is a tiny 2 ft from the NW with weak energy (71). Clean, but not even worth waxing up for.
Wednesday the 16th gets a little better, with the NW swell climbing to 4–4 ft and a moderate energy of 210 to 268. The wind stays cross-offshore, so it's clean, but the conditions are only marginal. Still not worth getting wet for.
Here's the one bright spot: Thursday morning the 17th. We've got a solid 5 ft NW swell with a nice 11-second period, pumping strong energy at 515. The wind is offshore from the west, light at 6 mph. That's clean, fun surf for intermediate riders. It's not huge, but it's the best we'll see.
After that morning, it's back to nothing. From Thursday afternoon the 17th all the way through the end of the month, it's flat or tiny. A little 3 ft NW bump shows up on Thursday the 24th, but with onshore wind and only moderate energy (163), it's no good. The 27th and 28th have some glassy moments but the swell is under 2 ft—not worth it.
So here's the deal: your only real chance is Thursday morning the 17th at El Sardinero - Segunda. Clean, offshore, and some decent NW groundswell. It's fairly consistent there, but this stretch is mostly a bust. Stick around, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
