The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one for the Sardinero area. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, small, and messy conditions, so patience is the name of the game.
Right now, and for the next several days, there’s just no real swell to speak of. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. We’ve got a gap from the start of the period all the way through to the middle of the month with basically nothing ridable. There are a few tiny pulses of energy, like a 0.4ft WNW swell on Tuesday morning with glassy conditions, but the combined energy is a paltry 28 (weak), so it’s not worth paddling out for.
The first real sniff of something happens on Thursday, August 14th, in the morning. We’ll see a 2ft NW swell rolling in with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 65 (still weak), but at least it’s a little more than what we’ve had. The wind is onshore from the ENE at 6 mph, so it’s not going to be clean. The afternoon stays onshore and stronger at 12 mph, so the morning is the better window, but it’s still pretty poor.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Sunday, August 16th. It’s the best of a bad lot. We’ll have a 2ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 77 (weak), but the wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph. That’s the key. For El Sardinero - Segunda, a beach and rocks setup, that glassy morning will be the cleanest it gets. The swell direction from the NW is a decent match for the break’s optimum NNW. It’s small, but on a glassy morning, you might find a few fun little ones. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
After that, it goes pretty flat again into the next week. The morning of Monday, August 17th, sees a clean, cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph, but with no swell at all, there’s nothing to ride.
So, the short version: it’s a flat spell with a tiny, clean window on the morning of the 16th. That’s your best shot, and it’s not much. Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
