Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Sardinero - Segunda over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell you, it's been a quiet run here at El Sardinero - Segunda (El-Sardinero). We are looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before things finally start to look up, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Right now, from Wednesday the 8th of July through to Monday the 20th of July, we are in a massive flat spell. There's just no real swell to speak of, with tiny waves in the 0.3 ft to 2 ft range. The swell energy is incredibly weak, barely registering in the single or low double digits—you can just forget about a proper surf. The wind is generally light, sometimes cross-off or clean, but with no height on offer, it doesn't matter a bit. It's a solid blank run. This kind of quiet period isn't unusual for the area, but it still stings. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 72°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Then we get a bit of life on Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning shows a bump to 4 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a more moderate 196, and there's a clean light breeze. It's surfable, but the conditions are still described as very ordinary. You could get a few grovelly ones in, but don't expect much.
The real standout, and the only time I'd get genuinely excited, hits us on Wednesday the 22nd of July in the morning. The swell pushes up to 7 ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy reading of 602 (strong energy). That's a proper pulse of swell for this spot. Best of all, the wind is dead flat—absolutely glassy. That makes the surf incredibly clean. However, at 7 ft, this is pushing into expert territory; it will be too big for beginners. The afternoon of that day gets a bit ragged with a cross-onshore breeze chopping things up, so make that morning session your target.
There's a smaller swell on Thursday the 23rd of July, with clean 1 ft conditions but no real power behind it. That Wednesday morning, the 22nd, is your one true standout. Don't miss it.
