The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about what's happening at Escollera Necochea. Only this one spot is in the frame, a beach and reef break that really needs a clean southerly.
The first week and a bit is a write-off. From Sunday the 16th all the way through to the 23rd, you've got onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up every session. Wave comments don't sugarcoat it—"poor surf conditions" across the board. Don't bother.
But things start turning around Monday the 24th of August. The wind goes offshore out of the west-northwest, and we get a clean 2ft to 2ft swell from the south with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate, around 579 to 482. That's the best looking window in the whole run. For an intermediate crowd, this is your session.
Then Tuesday the 25th, we get proper offshore breezes from the north and north-northeast, with a 1.0ft southeast swell running at 10 seconds. The energy sits around 345 to 376. That's clean, punchy surf for the reef. Expect a few others out there—this spot is very consistent.
After that, it thins out. Glassy conditions on the 27th but only a tiny 0.5ft southerly swell, combined energy just 162. It's surfable, but barely.
Stick to the 24th and the 25th of August. That's your best chance.
Rusty.

Information about the Escollera Necochea Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Escollera Necochea provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Escollera Necochea can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Escollera Necochea surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
