The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for El Sardinero - Segunda over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any proper sessions.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, 30th July. We’re talking a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is a weak 58, so it’s barely a ripple. The wind is glassy from the NNW, which is the only saving grace – it’ll be clean. But honestly, it’s for the die-hards only.
Friday, 31st July, is a repeat performance. The morning brings a 2ft swell from the NW, with the same 8-second period. Again, glassy conditions, but the energy is even lower at 31. It’s small, it’s clean, but it’s not going to get your heart racing.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Saturday, 1st August, all the way through to Tuesday, 11th August, the swell barely registers over 0.7ft and the energy stays in the single digits. The water temperature is sitting at 72°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing out of the ordinary.
There’s no standout day here. The whole run is a blank. This is one of those times where the forecast just doesn’t want to play ball. Keep the board in the bag and check back later – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing for a surfer to get excited about.
Rusty.
