El Sardinero - Segunda Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let me be straight with you – looking at the whole 16-day window for El Sardinero - Segunda, it’s a frustrating picture. The full forecast is a long run of flat, tiny, or messy conditions. The first few days have nothing rideable, then we get a gap of more than a week with only scraps of swell that don't stack up to anything worthwhile. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the dip won't be a shock.

We start on Friday the 31st of July. Morning shows a tiny 2ft NW swell at 8 seconds, with glassy conditions from a light NW wind. The combined energy is weak (32), and it’s just poor surf. By the afternoon, the wind swings to a light cross-shore N wind, but the waves are still tiny and poor. That sets the tone.

Saturday the 1st of August is essentially flat in the morning, and the afternoon offers a pathetic 0.7ft WNW swell with a cross-onshore wind. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are flat to tiny, with clean conditions but no wave power to speak of. The combined energy for that 0.7ft swell is a measly 9 to 12.

Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are more of the same – tiny 0.7ft to 1ft NW/WNW swell, with cross-onshore or cross-offshore winds. The water is still, the energy is weak, and it’s all poor.

Thursday the 6th of August brings a tiny pulse of 2ft NW swell at 8 seconds, with a glassy morning, giving the highest combined energy we’ll see at 35. It’s the best of a bad lot, but it’s still poor surf. The period is short, and the swell is weak.

From Friday the 7th through to Wednesday the 12th, we’re looking at days of flatness or tiny 0.7ft to 1ft waves. The combined energy readings are all in the single or low double digits. The winds are clean at times, but no swell to work with.

Thursday the 13th of August morning offers a small 1.0ft WNW swell at 10 seconds, with a light offshore wind from the W. This is a clean window, but it’s a tiny, weak swell (18 energy). It’s something to sit on a longboard for, but not a standout.

The final days, the 14th and 15th of August, are just a last gasp of tiny, weak swell with moderate winds. Nothing to get excited about.

Honestly, there’s no standout here. No rippable day. The whole 16-day window is a poor run of surf. For a spot like this, that’s how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

Rusty.
