The Lowdown
Righto, surf’s looking pretty bleak for a good stretch, I’ll be honest. For the next week and a half, there’s not much to get excited about at Escollera Necochea (Argentina). The swell’s tiny, mostly under 2ft, with short, weak periods – combined energy barely hitting double digits most days. Winds are all over the place but never really lining up for proper clean waves. We’re looking at a solid gap of nothing on offer from now right through until the morning of Sunday, the 6th of September.
Then, finally, something special. On Sunday morning the 6th, a proper groundswell arrives – 7ft from the SSE with a very long 12-second period, and combined energy of 1209 – that’s strong stuff. The magic part is the wind; it’s glassy, dead calm. That’s a full-on moment for experienced surfers only. At over 8ft, this is strictly for the crew who know what they’re doing. The SSE swell direction is well-aligned with the optimum S direction for this exposed beach-and-reef setup, so expect clean, powerful lines. Get on it early, though – by afternoon, the wind swings SW and it’s cross-onshore and choppy, ruining it.
The water temperature is sitting at 50°F, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year – nothing major, just standard chilly.
After that standout Sunday morning, the rest of the forecast is back to ordinary. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th still have solid swell (5ft to 6ft) but it’s all cross-onshore and lumpy, so not worth paddling out. Later in the week, from Thursday the 10th into Friday the 11th, there’s a modest pickup with 3ft to 5ft from the SE, clean offshore or cross-off winds, but the periods are short and the energy is moderate at best (170-330). It’ll be surfable but nothing to set an alarm for.
So yeah, one standout: dawn on Sunday the 6th at Escollera Necochea. Be there early. After that, the rest is a long wait.
