The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at El Sardinero - Segunda for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a bit of a slow burn, and we've got a big ol' flat patch to sit through before the ocean wakes up.
We are looking at a solid run of days with nothin' doin'. From right now up until the 23rd of August, it’s pretty much a write-off with flat, tiny, or non-existent surf. You're better off finding something else to do because the ocean is taking a nap.
There's a slight flicker on the morning of the 23rd with a weak, short-period 2ft swell from the ENE, but that onshore wind will ruin it. Then it goes quiet again until Monday the 26th. That morning, we see a pulse of 4ft NW swell start to build. The energy is moderate at 341, but it is still small and looks pretty average. It ain't worth paddling out for.
Now, the real standout here isn’t until Thursday the 27th of August. The morning gets an excellent score for us experienced surfers. We have a solid 10ft NW groundswell rolling in. The period is 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1584. That's some proper power. Even better, we've got a gentle offshore breeze from the WSW. This is the kind of day the break was made for. The swell from the NNW is bang on what this spot likes. If you can handle the size and the power, this is the session to circle on your calendar.
Later that day it gets a bit lumpy with the cross-offshore wind picking up. It will still be big but a little less clean.
After that, we wind down. The morning of Friday the 28th is worth a mention, with the swell dropping to a more manageable 5ft NW. With glassy conditions and some energy left in the water, it’ll be great for a cleaner, fun session. Not as powerful as the day before, but a nice option.
The following week gets messy again. There's a pulse of 13ft NW swell on Monday the 31st of August, which is massive. The period is a very long 12 seconds, and the wave energy is huge at 4080. But the wind is a cross-offshore, so it will be tricky. Only the experts should be looking at that one, and even then, it could be a beast.
Right, that's your lot from me. Stay patient, that Thursday the 27th is the real deal.
Rusty.
