The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for El Sardinero - Segunda.
Right out of the gate, we’ve got a rough patch. The first few days are flat or close to it, with tiny, weak waves that won't get you out of bed. The water here is 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable for a swim.
Monday morning, the 26th, we finally see a little life. The combined swell energy hits 70, which is still weak, and the swell is a tiny 0.6ft from the NW. It’s glassy though, so if you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high ripple. The real action starts to kick off on the morning of Friday the 28th. We've got a clean 5ft NW swell with a combined energy of 274, and light offshore wind. This is the first proper session of the period. It holds into Saturday morning the 29th with a glassy 5ft NW swell and 287 energy – that’s the morning to be out.
There’s a bit of a lull over the weekend, but Monday the 31st morning brings another nice window: 5ft NW swell with 300 energy and offshore breeze. That’s a solid call for a dawny. The standout, though, is definitely Monday the 7th of September. We’re talking a 8ft NW groundswell on the morning, building to 8ft in the afternoon, with a very long period of 19 seconds and combined energy of 4134. The afternoon has moderate offshore wind and the waves are for experienced surfers only. That’s a proper big-swell day for the crew who know what they’re doing.
To wrap it up: Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th mornings are your best bets for clean, fun waves. The real heavy hitter is Monday the 7th of September, but that’s only for the experts.
Rusty.
