The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the Sardinero area. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about, so patience is the name of the game.
The first real whisper of life shows up on Thursday, August 6th. Early morning at El Sardinero - Segunda, we’ll see a tiny pulse of swell from the NW, bumping up to 3 feet. The period is short at 8 to 9 seconds, so it’s not got much punch, but the combined energy is moderate at 112. The real winner here is the wind: early morning it’s glassy, dead calm. That’s a rare treat and will make for clean, smooth waves, even if they’re small and weak. Water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty. Don’t expect much power, but for a quick, fun session on a summer board, it’s your best bet. The afternoon gets blown out by onshore NE wind, so get out early.
After that, we slide back into a proper flat spell. From Saturday the 8th right through to the 16th of August, the scores are all zeros. There’s a few days with tiny, inconsistent 0.7 feet to 3 feet scraps, but the wind is messy—cross-off, cross-on, or just onshore—and the wave energy is weak, with combined energy readings barely hitting double digits (31, 65). It’s just not worth paddling out for. The morning of the 16th of August offers a bit of hope with 3 feet and a clean cross-off breeze, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the energy is still just 65. It’s a poor surf situation.
Look, this is a blank run for the area. The spot itself is fairly consistent normally, so this kind of dead spell is a bit of a downer. Keep your eye on the charts, though—it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
