The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming up for Escollera Sur in Mar del Plata.
To be straight with you, it’s a slow start. There’s a big gap with nothing worthwhile until Wednesday, September 16th. Before that, it’s all tiny or wind-affected, so keep the board in the car.
Wednesday the 16th is the only real highlight. The morning is the go: a clean 5ft swell out of the SSE with a 9-second period, combined energy of 459 (moderate). The wind is light, cross-offshore from the NNE, so the waves should look nice. This is the best call of the period – solid size for an intermediate surfer, clean conditions, and the water is sitting at 51°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Wednesday afternoon is similar, around 5ft and clean, though the wind picks up a little.
It fades fast after that. Thursday the 17th drops off in size, and it stays small all the way to the end of the run. There’s a little pulse on Tuesday the 22nd of September with a 4ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s choppy, nothing to write home about.
So, if you’re keen, circle Wednesday the 16th. That’s the one day that’s actually got some juice. The rest of the 16 days? Mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.
