The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’re looking at a pretty slow run for El Suicidio over the next two and a half weeks. The first real chance to get wet is Monday morning, September 7th. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE, period of 9 seconds, with a light WNW cross-off breeze at 3 mph. The water is sitting at 55°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate at 287. It’s a decent start, but the waves are a bit weak for this point break. Still, it’s the best of the bunch in the near term, and you’ll have clean lines with that offshore wind.
After that, the window slams shut. Tuesday through to the end of the first week looks pretty grim. There’s a gap from Monday afternoon right through to the end of the day on Thursday, September 10th, with nothing but poor or marginal conditions. The swell drops to knee-high or below, and the wind messes things up. Friday, September 11th, is a write-off with strong onshore wind.
The next standout is a bit of a wild card, and it’s a long way off. On Saturday, September 19th, the morning session at El Suicidio should be worth a look. We’ve got a clean 3ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the wind is a true offshore from the NNE at 6 mph. The combined energy is 203, which is still light, but the glassy, offshore wind will make it all very clean. The period is decent, and with the point break setup, the waves should have a bit of shape. This is the pick of the whole run, but it’s far out, so keep an eye on the forecast.
For the rest of the second week, from the 20th onward, it’s back to small, messy, and windy. The 22nd of September is barely a ripple. So, you’ve got two moments to target: this Monday morning, and then that Saturday a week and a half later. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty out.
