The Lowdown
Righto, let’s see what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks at Escollera Necochea.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burn for the first week. We’ve got a little pulse of energy coming in Thursday morning (13th August) with 5ft of SSE swell, period around 11 seconds, so there’s some grunt in it. That combined energy is sitting at 435 (moderate), but the wind is a messy cross-shore from the east at 9 mph, which is gonna put a bit of a chop on it. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Water temp is 51°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Friday (14th) is similar but smaller, dropping to 4ft, and the wind swings NE, keeping things cross-off and clean. Still, it’s pretty ordinary.
Saturday (15th) and Sunday (16th) are a write-off – swell drops right off, and by Sunday we’re dealing with 1ft to 1ft of junk. Monday (17th) kicks up a bit with 5ft to 6ft from the SSW, but the wind is howling cross-on at 16 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. Not one for the paddle board.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. We’ve got a bit of a hidden gem on Tuesday afternoon (18th August). Swell is only 4ft from the SSW, period short at 8 seconds, but the wind goes glassy – just 3 mph from the WSW. That combined energy is 186 (moderate), and while it’s not huge, those clean, glassy conditions will make the most of what’s there. For the patient surfer, that could be a pleasant little session.
But the real standout? You’re gonna want to mark your calendar for Tuesday 25th August through to Wednesday 26th. The swell builds to 8ft from the SSE, and by Wednesday 26th, the period stretches to a very long 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy hits a whopping 2246 (very strong). Winds are offshore from the north at 9 mph, keeping it clean. This is a setup for experienced surfers only – over 8ft is no joke. For the beach-and-reef setup here, that very long period is gonna wrap in nicely, especially if you can find a peak that handles it. Tuesday afternoon (25th) and Wednesday morning (26th) are the pick of the bunch. After that, it drops back down, with Thursday 27th offering cleaner but smaller 4ft to 4ft SSE swell, glassy in the afternoon.
So yeah, the first week is mostly a waiting game. The gold is that window from the 25th to 26th – that’s the one to aim for.
