The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya, it’s been a lean stretch here. We’re lookin’ at a real quiet 16-day window for El Sardinero - Segunda. Nothin’ much on the cards for the first couple of weeks, I gotta be straight with ya. There’s a proper dry spell from now right through ‘til late July, with just tiny, weak dribbles that won’t give you a thing worth paddlin’ for. The board’s gonna be collectin’ dust.
We finally see a flicker of life on Monday the 27th of July. That afternoon, a moderate pulse of NW swell pushes through at about 3ft, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy’s up to a moderate 184, which is the only real reading we’ve seen in weeks. Wind’s light and cross-shore from the NNW, which will keep things fairly clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch – the ride quality is still marked poor – but compared to all the flat nothing before it, it’s the closest thing we’ve got to a wave.
Honestly, this is a spot that can go quiet, and this run proves it. Keep expectations low and watch the horizon. Forecasts can always change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
