The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for El Suicidio over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the start of this outlook is a tough pill to swallow. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. From now right through until the morning of Saturday, the 19th of September, it’s flat and poor. That’s over a week of hardly anything worth paddling out for. The energy is weak, with the combined swell energy barely cracking 181 (moderate) on Tuesday morning the 8th, and then it just crashes down into single and double digits. The water temp is sitting at about 55°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
There’s a brief flicker of life on Saturday morning the 19th. The swell pushes up to around 3ft from the E with a short period of 8 seconds, giving us about 133 (moderate) in combined energy. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NW, so it’ll be clean-looking, but the waves are pretty ordinary. It’s surfable, but don’t expect any gems. That afternoon the wind swings, and it gets messy again.
We then get a bit of size rolling in for Monday the 21st, but it comes with a caveat. The swell jumps to 8ft from the S, with a solid period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1875 (strong), so there’s plenty of grunt behind it. However, the wind is onshore from the S at 12 mph, which is going to chop it up badly. This is proper expert-only territory at that size, and with the onshore wind, it’s going to be a battle. The period is long enough to suggest good shape, but with the wind and the beach break nature of the spot, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Tuesday the 22nd morning backs off to 6ft from the SSE, period 12 seconds, and energy of 852 (strong). The wind lightens up from the S at 6 mph, still onshore, making it marginal and only for the experienced crew who know the bank.
There isn’t a single standout window in this forecast. The best of a bad bunch is probably Tuesday morning the 22nd of September, but even then, the stars don’t align for a clean, user-friendly wave. If you’re a beginner or intermediate, give this one a miss for a while. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, it’s a quiet, frustrating run for El Suicidio.
Rusty.
