The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down what's happening at El Sardinero - Segunda. Water temp is a normal 70° for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The next few days are pretty much a bust. Monday and Tuesday are flat and blown out. You're gonna be waiting a while. The first real chance of a wave comes Wednesday the 16th. A NW swell starts to trickle in, building to about 4ft through the afternoon. The period is a decent 9-10 seconds, so it'll have some shape, and the energy gets into a moderate range (194-279). Wind is light and cross-off, so it should be fairly clean. It's not a classic, but you can get wet.
Thursday the 17th is the best of this early run. We've got a 5ft NW swell in the morning with a nice 11-second period and solid energy (453). The wind is a whisper from the WNW, only 5 mph cross-off, so it'll be glassy and clean. It backs off a little in the afternoon to about 4ft but still holds. This is the window to aim for.
Friday the 18th morning is still okay, with a 4ft NW swell and offshore wind, but the energy is down to 237 and the period shortens to 9 seconds. That afternoon it just flatlines and goes cross-on. From Friday afternoon all the way through to Wednesday the 24th, it's a long, flat stretch. You'll see some glassy mornings, but the swell is tiny or gone. A 3ft pulse on the 22nd has a nice 12-second period but the wind is cross, and the report says it's poor, so skip it.
Now, after that big gap, we get a real standout on Friday the 25th morning. This one's exciting. A 4ft NW groundswell with a 12-second period and energy at 355. That's got some proper punch. The wind is dead calm, totally glassy. It'll be clean and lined up, perfect conditions. But it's over a week away, so keep your fingers crossed and check back. The afternoon is ruined by onshore wind.
Saturday the 26th morning will have some leftover 3ft swell, glassy, but the energy is way down to 149, so it'll be smaller and weaker. After that, it's a slow fade into tiny, poor conditions for the rest of the period.
So, to sum it up: Thursday the 17th is your best bet this week for a clean, solid session, and that Friday the 25th morning is the one to keep an eye on for a real treat. Plan around those.
Rusty.
