The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, the next 16 days are a bit of a struggle for El Sardinero - Segunda. It’s a beach and rocks setup, fairly exposed, and it likes a swell from the NNW. The problem is, we’ve got a long dry spell before anything even remotely interesting shows up.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
We’re looking at a big gap of nothing. From now, Thursday the 10th of September, right through until the morning of Wednesday the 16th, there’s just no energy in the water. You’ll see a few tiny ripples, but they’re all getting a score of zero – it’s just poor surf conditions. A few glassy mornings, which is a tease, but the swell is missing.
Finally, on Wednesday the 16th, we get a pulse. The morning shows a 4ft NW swell at 8 seconds. That short period means it’s not going to have much shape, and the combined energy is moderate (287). The wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, which will keep the surface clean, but it’s a marginal call. The afternoon is similar, but the wind picks up. This is the only real window of the whole outlook, and it’s not a classic.
Then it dries up again. The 17th has a similar size swell (4ft NW, 11 seconds) but the wind is howling from the WNW. The period is longer, which is better for shape, but the wind is too strong for it to be any good. After that, we’re back to zero for days.
The very end of the forecast, on Friday the 25th of September, has a glimmer. A 2ft NW swell (10 seconds) with glassy, calm conditions in the morning. The energy is weak (104). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
So, the only real standout is the Wednesday the 16th morning session. It’s the only time the swell size and the wind line up. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the only game in town. For the rest of it, you’re better off finding a different hobby for a couple of weeks.
Rusty.
