The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Escollera Necochea. We’ve got a patchy run ahead, so don’t be expecting any fireworks. The water is sitting at 52°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re willing to brave the conditions.
The first sniff of anything surfable hits us on Tuesday, July 21st. Early morning, it’s glassy – dead calm, wind out of the north-northeast at 0 mph. That’s as clean as it gets. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the south-southwest, with a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s weak, barely registering 84 units of combined energy. It’s surfable, but only just. You’ll be scratching around for little ankle-biters. The afternoon gets a light cross-on wind, which ruins it.
Then we slide into a long, quiet spell. From Wednesday, July 22nd right through to early Friday, July 24th, it’s all poor surf conditions. Not worth getting wet.
The best bet in this whole 16-day window is Friday, July 24th. It’s still not pumping, but it’s the standout. The swell is only 2 ft to 2 ft from the south, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds in the morning, then 14 seconds in the afternoon. That’s a proper groundswell, giving the waves a bit more shape and push for the size. The combined energy bumps up to 125 and then 162 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the north, blowing at 12 to 15 mph, keeping the surface clean. The break is a beach and reef setup, so a long-period south swell like this can work okay, but it might be a bit straight. Expect crowds possible. This is your call for the week.
Saturday, July 25th offers similar size but with a shorter period (10-11 seconds) and a bit more wind. It’s clean, but not as good as Friday. After that, we’re back to small, weak, or blown-out slop for days. July 30th has a pulse of 3 ft south swell with a 9-10 second period and light cross-off winds, but the combined energy (145-181) doesn’t translate to quality – it’s still just ordinary.
The second week is a write-off. Lots of poor surf, onshore winds, and a couple of bigger, wind-chopped days that are more for the kites than paddlers.
So, to sum it up: Friday, July 24th morning and afternoon is the only real window worth chasing. The rest is a gamble on tiny, clean scraps or blown-out mess.
Rusty.
