The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at the next 16 days for Totoritas, and honestly, the first week is a bit of a struggle. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly on it, so you’ll be waiting a while for anything decent.
The first few days are flat. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd have nothing worth paddling out for, with waves around 0.7 ft to 1 ft and poor conditions. Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 27th is more of the same – tiny, weak swell and onshore wind. The combined energy is way down, reading between 42 and 197 (weak). You’re better off doing something else.
Things start to get interesting from Thursday the 28th onwards. We see a bump in swell from the WSW, building to 4 ft on Friday morning with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The combined energy jumps to 938 (moderate) by Friday morning and hits 1040 (strong) Friday afternoon. That's the biggest energy of the whole period. The size is getting up there, so this is for experienced surfers – beginners might find it a bit punchy.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th hold around 5 ft and 4 ft, but the wind stays cross-onshore or onshore, so the quality is still marginal. The best window of the entire forecast comes on Tuesday, September 1st. The morning session is your standout. The wind is glassy, coming from the west at just 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 3 ft from the SW with an 11-second period. The combined energy is 299 (moderate), and the forecast calls for “expect good surf conditions”. This is the pick of the bunch. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, the swell drops off again into the first week of September, with onshore winds returning. The second week looks average, with waves around 3 ft to 4 ft and mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. Not much to write home about.
Bottom line: The first week is a write-off. The only real standout is Tuesday morning, September 1st, when everything lines up for a clean, glassy session at Totoritas. Get on it if you can.
Rusty.
