The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for our stretch of coast. It's been a bit of a mixed bag lately, with the water sitting at 51°—that's about normal for this time of year, nothing to get excited about. The next couple of weeks are a real tale of two halves: a whole lot of nothing for days, then a proper pulse of energy to finish it all off.
Alright, so right now it's flat. Dead flat. There's a long gap coming our way. We're looking at a stretch from Saturday the 14th all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 16th where there's nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is a mess and the swell just isn't there.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope hits on Wednesday morning, 16th of September. Escollera Necochea is looking good. We've got a clean 4ft SSE swell rolling in with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a gentle offshore from the north, keeping the faces glassy. The combined energy is solid (557), so there's some proper push behind it. This is the standout for the early part of the window.
Wednesday afternoon holds in at 5ft, still with that clean north offshore breeze. It's a bit of a one-day wonder, though, because Thursday the 17th sees the wind swing and the swell drops away again. We're then back into a poor run that goes all the way through the weekend and into the start of the next week.
Now, for the second week, things get seriously interesting, but it's for the experienced crew only. Thursday morning, 24th of September, a proper long-period groundswell arrives. Escollera Necochea is going to be pumping with a solid 8ft swell from the south, period of 11 seconds. The energy is massive (1276), and with a moderate offshore wind from the north-northwest, it's going to be clean and powerful. This is the other standout. Friday morning the 25th is still good at 6ft with fresh offshore wind, but that Thursday morning window looks like the pick of the entire outlook. Don't be fooled by the afternoon on the 24th, it gets a bit lumpy.
So, to sum it up: get out there on Wednesday the 16th for some clean, fun waves, and circle Thursday the 24th of September in your calendar for the big stuff. The rest is a write-off until that final swell.
