The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for El Sardinero – Segunda.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you: this 16-day window is a tough one. For the first week and a half, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. A bunch of near-flat days, onshore winds, and just messy conditions. It’s a real struggle.
Wednesday morning the 9th, we see a little pulse of life: a 4ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period, but it’s cross-shore wind. The combined energy is moderate at best (287), and the score is a 1/10. Not the day. Then it all goes flat again until Friday the 12th, but that’s just 2ft junk with an 8-second period and onshore wind. No good.
There’s a gap of about 4 days with absolutely nothing.
Now, by Monday morning the 14th, we get a bit more energy. The combined energy jumps to 366 (moderate), with a 4ft NW swell and an 11-second period, which is decent period. But it’s onshore wind, so the quality is still trash.
Things start to look up around Saturday the 19th. This is our one true standout. Saturday morning the 19th, we’ve got a 3ft NW swell with a long 12-second period, and offshore wind from the W at 6 mph. That’s clean. The combined energy is 268 (moderate) and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the session to aim for. The swell direction matches the optimum from NNW, so the point should line up nicely. It’s just a touch over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but this is the best on offer.
Overall, it’s a long wait for one clean morning. The rest is mostly for the kite crew, because if the wind’s on and the waves are weak, that’s more their scene than ours. Hang in there.
