The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for the next couple of weeks.
We're looking at a solid run of swell from the south-southwest to southeast, but the quality is going to be all over the shop. The first few days are a bit of a write-off with messy conditions, but we’ve got a real sweet spot coming up.
Saturday the 22nd kicks off with some serious energy – we're talking a combined energy of 1691 (moderate) early, with 10ft of SSW swell, but a fresh 19 mph cross-shore wind is going to make it lumpy. It's not the one. By the afternoon it’s even worse with a strong cross-onshore breeze, so just give it a miss.
Sunday the 23rd brings a massive pulse from the south, hitting 12ft with a long 14-second period and a combined energy of 5491 (strong to very strong). The problem? Onshore winds all morning and afternoon, so it’s going to be a messy, blown-out beast. Only for the die-hards with big boards and no standards.
Monday the 24th is where things turn around. The swell drops to a much more manageable 7ft from the SSE with an 11-second period, and the wind swings to a light NNE cross-off at just 6 mph. That’s the ticket for clean surf. The morning is the standout, with the combined energy at 990 (moderate) and clean conditions. Escollera Necochea is a beach and reef set-up, so it should handle that swell direction well. The water is sitting at 51°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are also looking very good. Tuesday morning has 4ft of SSE swell with a 10-second period and a moderate offshore north wind at 16 mph, keeping things clean. Wednesday is the pick of the two though, with 5ft of SE swell, a longer 13-second period, and a gentle offshore north breeze. That’s going to be some smooth, lined-up surf with the combined energy around 653 (moderate).
After that, the swell starts to fade. Thursday the 27th still has some rideable 3ft waves in the morning, but from Friday the 28th onwards we hit a long flat spell. For nearly a week, from the 28th of August through to the 5th of September, it’s tiny – mostly under 2ft. A few glassy mornings pop up, like Saturday the 29th afternoon with 1.0ft and no wind, but there’s just no power to push a board.
A new pulse tries to build around the 6th of September, with 4ft to 5ft of short-period SW swell, but it's onshore and choppy again. Not worth the effort.
So, to be straight with you: the best surf of the whole period is on Monday 24th, Tuesday 25th, and Wednesday 26th of August. If you’ve got a window, the Wednesday morning looks like the absolute gem – clean, offshore, chest-high waves with proper period. That’s the one to point your car at.
Stay safe, and I’ll catch you in the water.
