The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Escollera Necochea.
We’ve got a slow start, but a couple of sessions that will fire. The water’s about 51°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
Sunday afternoon (2nd August) is a bit flat – just 2 feet of south swell with a 12 second period, and a moderate NNE breeze at 12 mph keeping it clean. Not much energy (172), so it’s surfable but not memorable.
The first real standout is Monday morning (3rd August). We’ve got 4 feet of swell from the SSE, with a 10 second period and a healthy energy of 382. But the magic is the wind – glassy conditions from the NW at just 3 mph. That’s as clean as it gets, mate. This break (Escollera Necochea) is a beach and reef setup, and it’s very consistent, so you’ll have waves rolling through. If you’re a solid intermediate, this is your time.
Monday afternoon stays 5 feet but a light SW cross-onshore creeps in and knocks the face around a bit. Tuesday morning (4th August) is another good one – 4 feet of SE swell, a WNW cross-offshore at 6 mph, clean lines. Energy is 236. Crowds are only “sometimes” an issue, so you’ll have space.
From Wednesday (5th August) it drops off hard. Wednesday morning is just 2 feet (73 energy), and Wednesday afternoon gets messy with a cross-on breeze. Thursday (6th) is tiny – 1 to 1 feet – not worth paddling out. Friday (7th August) pumps up to 7 to 7 feet from the SSW, but it’s a short-period wind swell (7 seconds) with a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The energy (406 to 489) is wasted in the chop.
Saturday (8th August) has a messy 7 feet cross-shore mess in the afternoon. Sunday (9th August) gets even bigger – 10 to 12 feet – but with fresh cross-shore chop and lumpy seas, it’s not surfable. The energy is massive (1336 to 1894) but the wind kills it.
Now, the other standout: Monday morning (10th August). A huge 15 feet of long-period groundswell (12 seconds) from the south, with a clean cross-offshore wind. Energy is a monster 6015. But that size is too big for this break unless you’re an expert. The long period (12 seconds) means it’ll break heavy and fast. Expert-only.
Through the rest of the week, it drops to 5 to 8 feet but with onshore or cross-shore winds keeping it average. Wednesday (12th August) morning is 5 feet (531 energy) with a gentle cross-shore – marginal. Thursday (13th August) has 5 feet from the SSE at an 11 second period, with a NNE offshore at 16 mph – clean but a bit bumpy.
From Saturday (15th August) to Monday (17th August), it’s tiny – under 1 foot with weak energy. Not worth the effort.
So the best session is Monday morning (3rd August) – that glassy 4 feet SSE swell with clean conditions is the winner. The long-range Monday (10th August) is huge and clean but only for experts. Everything else is small or windy.
Rusty.
