The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for most of the next 16 days. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 72°, but that’s about the only thing that’s slightly positive.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t even show up until the 3rd of August. That’s over a week of flat, empty ocean. From Saturday the 25th all the way through to the end of July, it’s a total write-off. We’ve got a few days of glassy mornings, like Monday the 27th and Friday the 31st, but no swell to go with it – just a whole lot of staring at a flat sea.
On Saturday the 3rd of August, the morning finally coughs up a tiny 0.7 ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is almost nothing (9), so it’s barely a bump. The wind is light offshore from the WSW, so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. That afternoon, the swell picks up a little to 1 ft from the NW, still with a 10-second period, and the energy climbs to 27. Still very small, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a week.
The only real standout in this whole sorry outlook is the morning of Friday the 7th of August. We’ve got a 2 ft NW swell, with a 9-second period, giving a combined energy of 39. The wind is glassy from the NNW, so it’s going to be clean as a whistle. It’s small, but with that light wind and a bit of period, it’ll be the best session of the fortnight. The wind stays light for the weekend, but the swell drops back down.
Overall, El Sardinero - Segunda is a beach and rocks setup, and with this much nothing, it’s just a waiting game. If you’re desperate, the 7th is your best bet, but don’t expect much. The second week looks a bit more hopeful with a few more 2 ft pulses, but nothing to write home about.
Rusty.
