The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here in the Sardinero region.
Well, truth be told, we are in for a pretty quiet spell. For the next couple of weeks, the surf is going to be small and mostly disappointing. There’s a long gap from now, starting on Sunday the 9th of August, right through until the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, where you’d be wasting your time paddling out for anything decent. We’re talking days of flat or tiny, weak mush with barely any energy – combined wave energy is in the single digits or low tens most of that time, if there’s any at all. That’s a long stretch of nothing.
Things finally start to look a little interesting on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. El Sardinero - Segunda picks up a small but noticeable pulse from the NW. We’re looking at waves around 3ft, period around 10 seconds, with the wind staying light and cross-offshore. The combined energy jumps to 181 (moderate), and the surf is actually clean. It’s still pretty ordinary – not a standout day by any means – but after all that flatness, it’ll feel like a proper session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Saturday afternoon hangs in there, a little smaller around 3ft, but still clean and surfable. That’s really the only window worth mentioning across the entire forecast. By Sunday the 23rd, the wind picks up and the swell vanishes again, so don’t plan on a long run.
Honestly, if you’re hanging for waves, Saturday the 22nd is your only real shot. It won’t blow you away, but it’ll be a welcome change from the nothing we’ve had.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
