The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re in for a bit of a flat stretch. The first real surf on offer doesn’t show up until Monday morning, 7th September. It’s a slow start, and there will be a quiet run from the 10th all the way through to the 15th, with only tiny, poor waves. So, we’ve got a few days of action, then a big gap of nothing, and then a promising window at the end.
The best of the early action comes on Wednesday morning, 9th September. El Sardinero - Segunda will be showing a 4 ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (243), and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’s going to be clean and surfable. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the pick of the bunch for the first week.
The real standout, though, is the morning of Friday, 18th September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. El Sardinero - Segunda gets a 5 ft NW swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 348. The winds are forecast to be glassy. That’s a tough combo to beat. It’s going to be clean, fun, and with a bit of energy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a wetsuit is the call.
Remember, this is only an intermediate spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s a beach and rocks setup, so keep your eyes open. The crowds can show up sometimes, but with conditions like that Friday morning, it’ll be worth sharing the peak.
Stay stoked, and keep your eyes on the 18th.
