The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking.
To be straight with you, the next couple of days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid stretch of south swell rolling in, but the wind is going to mess with it early on. The standout moment, the one you really want to circle on your calendar, is Wednesday morning the 12th. It’s going to be absolutely glassy with calm wind and a clean 5ft south swell. That’s the kind of morning you dream about, smooth, lined up, and nobody out if you’re early. The wave energy is moderate (669), and with a 10-second period, it’ll have a bit of push without being too much.
Now, Escollera Necochea is a beach and reef set-up, and with the swell coming from the south, which is its optimum direction, it should be handling it well. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. Just wetsuit up.
The afternoon of the 12th, the wind swings onshore and the swell jumps to 5ft with a very long 14-second period. That’s a lot of energy (1595) and it’s groundswell, which at this spot can mean it’ll be a bit fat and closed out if you’re on the beach. The reef might be the call if the tide is right, but it’s a marginal call.
The week after that drops off. By Saturday the 15th, we’re down to knee-high 3ft swell and weak energy (111). It’s clean but tiny. Then Sunday the 16th through to Thursday the 20th is a flat spell with poor surf and onshore winds, some of them howling near gale force on the 20th. The 17th has a 7ft SSW swell but it’s blown out and onshore – only for the kooks or the kites, really.
There is a flicker of hope on Tuesday the 25th. That morning shows a solid 7ft south swell with good cross-offshore wind and strong energy (818). It’s a solid, powerful wave, but at 7ft it’s getting into the more serious zone, so if you’re not comfortable in that size, maybe give it a miss. The wind is clean though, and if it holds, that could be a cracking session for the experienced crew.
So, the winner: Wednesday morning the 12th. Clean, glassy, fun size. The runner-up: Tuesday the 25th morning, for the bigger-wave hunters.
Be patient. The ocean will deliver.
