Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Sardinero - Segunda over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty checkin’ in, and I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it – El Sardinero - Segunda is flat as a pancake for this whole 16-day stretch. There’s barely a ripple, and the combined swell energy hardly ever leaves the weak zone (below 100). Most days we’re lookin’ at tiny bumps of 0.3ft to 2ft with a short, weak period. The wind does clean up sometimes – like Sunday the 12th with a moderate offshore breeze, or a few glassy moments – but with no height or power, that’s just a waste of good wind.
There ain’t a standout. The best we see is on Monday the 20th afternoon, when the combined energy hits 129 (moderate) and the swell bumps to 3ft from the northwest, but the period is a flimsy 8 seconds and the north cross-onshore wind at 9 mph messes it up. Thursday the 23rd afternoon shows 4ft from the NW with energy at 167, but again, that 8-second period and onshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph spoil it.
Every single day is marked “poor surf conditions” with a zero score. There’s nothin’ to ride. The break is fairly consistent, but the swell just ain’t comin’. It’s a dry spell that happens here, so don’t hold your breath – just hope the next forecast flips the script.
Rusty.
