The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. I’ve been looking at the long-range picture for the Sardinero stretch, and honestly, it’s a lot of waiting for not much.
We’re in a real dry spell right now. From Wednesday the 15th all the way through Friday the 24th of July, it’s basically flat. We’re talking ankle-biters from 0.3ft to 1ft, with combined energy numbers that are mostly in the single digits. A few mornings are glassy, but with no swell, it’s just a flat, calm ocean. Not worth the wax.
The one and only real chance to get wet is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July at El Sardinero - Segunda. A moderate offshore breeze from the west at 16 mph is cleaning the surface up, and a small windswell pushes in at 5ft from the NW. The period is a short, punchy 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the only rideable wave in the whole 16-day window. The combined energy reading is 135, which is a moderate amount of juice. The water is a warm 71°, which is a solid 4° above the seasonal average, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or spring suit. The optimum swell direction is from the NNW, and this one is from the NW, so it’s close enough. Expect a crowd at this spot, as it’s fairly consistent and can get busy.
After that, it’s right back to the desert. Sunday the 26th drops to 0.7ft, and the rest of the forecast is a ghost town. A glassy morning on the 30th of July, but with a 0.3ft swell, you’re just bobbing around. If you’re a patient soul, that Saturday morning is the only game in town.
Rusty.
