Table - best surf conditions forecast for Escollera Sur (Mar del Plata) over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Looking at the next 16 days for Escollera Sur (Mar del Plata) – honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The water is sitting at 50°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive. The whole window is mostly poor surf, with no real standout sessions. The break is a beach/breakwater setup, fairly consistent, but the conditions just aren’t lining up.
Let’s start from Saturday 11 July afternoon: cloudy, onshore wind from the SSE at 12 mph, 3.3 ft ESE swell at 14 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, but the wind is straight onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. Combined energy is moderate (472). No good.
Sunday 12 July: morning and afternoon both cross-onshore from the S, small swell around 2.3–2.6 ft, period 13 seconds. Still poor. The water temp anomaly is a touch warmer, but that doesn’t help the surf.
Monday 13 July: morning sees a little improvement – cross-offshore
Short Range ForecastMostly dry. Very mild (max 10°C on Mon afternoon, min 5°C on Mon morning). Winds increasing (calm on Sun night, fresh winds from the NNW by Tue morning). | Days 5-7 Weather SummaryLight rain (total 9mm), mostly falling on Wed night. Very mild (max 16°C on Thu afternoon, min 10°C on Tue night). Wind will be generally light. | ||||||||||||||||||||
