The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, onshore junk that’s just not worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly from the northeast or east, blowing straight onto the shore at El Sardinero - Segunda, and the swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft with a short, weak period. The combined energy is way down in the weak range. It’s gonna be a frustrating wait.
Then we hit a bit of a lull around the 6th and 7th of September where there’s practically no swell at all on the Sunday and Monday. The wind goes light and clean, but with zero wave energy, there’s nothing to ride.
Things start to get a pulse going on Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning session is the real standout here. The wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 4ft NW groundswell running with a solid 10-second period and a moderate energy reading. That’s the pick of the whole stretch – clean, glassy conditions with a decent wall of water. The swell direction is from the NW, which is the optimum for this spot. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have some company, but for clean waves at this size, it’s worth it.
The following week is a mixed bag with more of the same small, onshore slop, but we get a nice little window on Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th of September. On Tuesday afternoon, the wind goes clean and cross-offshore from the WNW, and we get a 3ft NW groundswell with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell with plenty of energy. It’s a bit small, but it’ll be clean and lined up. Wednesday morning keeps that clean cross-offshore wind, with a 4ft NW swell at 10 seconds and strong energy. That’s a solid, clean option for the intermediate crew.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The best on offer is the glassy morning of Tuesday the 8th of September, and then the clean, longer-period windows on the 15th and 16th of September. The morning of the 8th is the true standout.
Rusty.
