The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Escollera Sur (Mar del Plata).
The surf window opens slow. The first decent chance to get wet is Monday morning, September 7th, with a clean 4ft SSE swell and a moderate offshore breeze from the NW. The water’s at 51°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate (224), but the period is short at 8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit crumbly. It’s a solid start for intermediates, but not a classic.
The next few days are small and weak: Tuesday and Wednesday bring 2ft to 2ft S swells with offshore wind, but the energy is low (80 to 119) and the waves are ordinary.
Thursday, September 10th, is still small. Friday, September 11th, gets messy with a strong onshore wind and a short, lumpy 5ft SSE swell. Saturday, September 12th, is a mess: 8ft SSE swell, onshore wind, and combined energy over 1000 (1055). That’s strong, but blown out and only for experts or kamikazes.
Sunday, September 13th, morning is your gem. Glassy conditions, 4ft ESE swell, combined energy of 454 (moderate-strong), and dead calm wind. The swell direction is near optimum, and the waves will be clean and fun. Get out early before the afternoon cross-shore wind ruins it.
Monday, September 14th, afternoon picks up a clean 3ft ESE swell with moderate offshore wind – good for a backup session.
Wednesday, September 16th, morning brings a massive 12ft SSW swell with combined energy of 6947. That’s very strong, but the swell is too big for this break. Only experts should even consider it. Thursday, September 17th, is similar with 10ft to 8ft SSE swells and onshore wind.
The energy drops by Friday, September 18th, with a 5ft SSE swell and cross-off wind – marginal.
The real standout in the second week is Monday afternoon, September 21st. A clean 4ft E swell, gentle offshore wind from the NW, combined energy of 210 (moderate), and a period of 9 seconds. The swell direction is a good match, and the wave quality will be solid for intermediates. No crowds likely, and the consistency is decent.
Tuesday, September 22nd, gets a 7ft S swell with onshore wind – more of a kite-surfing day.
The best bets are Sunday morning, September 13th, for glassy perfection, and Monday afternoon, September 21st, for a promising long-range clean session. The rest is either too small, too big, or blown out.
Rusty out.
