The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look what’s cooking for Escollera Necochea over the next couple of weeks. This is a beach and reef setup that’s very consistent and exposed to the south, and it’s normally a go-to for intermediates when things line up.
Right off the bat, there’s a bit of a lull. Nothing worth paddling out for until Monday the 3rd of August. That’s a couple of days of flat or ordinary conditions to sit through, but it’s not unusual for this area – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay quiet for long.
Monday the 3rd of August is where we start seeing something. Monday morning brings knee-to-waist high swell around 5ft from the SSE, with a moderate 10-second period and combined swell energy hitting a solid 443 (moderate energy). The wind is light NE cross-off, keeping things clean. Monday afternoon turns glassy with the wind swinging SSE and dropping near zero – that’s a special window. Swell settles a touch to 4ft but still from the SSE, period stretching to 11 seconds, energy at 375. This is easily the cleanest, most inviting surf of the whole outlook. For a surfer who wants a proper session, Monday afternoon is the standout.
Tuesday the 4th of August holds a bit of hope too. Morning brings 4ft from the SE, cross-off breeze from the WNW, energy around 232. It’s clean, but nothing special. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore wind and light chop, so don’t get too excited.
From Wednesday the 5th through to the end of the first week, things go downhill fast. Small swell, poor wind, and a lot of cross or onshore junk. By Thursday the 6th, rain and building easterly winds up to 15 mph ruin any chance. Friday the 7th gets hammered by a near gale from the WSW at 31 mph – totally blown out, not worth looking at the ocean.
Now the weekend of the 8th and 9th of August gets big, but not in a good way. Saturday the 8th sees a massive 12ft swell from the SW, but with 31 mph cross-shore winds and energy readings of 1562 and 2151 (very strong). That’s heavy, messy, and only for experts if anyone is mad enough. Sunday the 9th hits 13ft from the SSW, cross-shore winds still howling at 22 mph, energy over 3000 – that’s near-gale chaos. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Into the second week, Monday the 10th of August drops to 8ft from the south at 11 seconds, with a gentle cross-shore breeze from the west. Energy is still high at 1493 (strong), but conditions remain lumpy with cross-chop. Tuesday the 11th stays similar, around 5-6ft, but the wind stays cross or cross-off with moderate breeze. Not the kind of quality you’d drive for.
From Wednesday the 12th onwards, the swell fades back to tiny, weak stuff – 1ft to 4ft – with mostly offshore or cross-off winds, but the energy is pathetic, often below 100. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So the real highlight here is Monday afternoon the 3rd of August: glassy conditions, head-high plus swell from the SSE, solid period. That’s the session to pencil in. The rest is either small and clean but weak, or big and blown out. Keep your eyes on that Monday window.
Rusty.
