The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down KM-200 - Totoritas. It’s a point break, set up for a SW swell, and the water temp is right about where it should be for this time of year.
Honestly, the first week is a dud. From Thursday the 13th through Tuesday the 18th, the wind is all cross-on or onshore from the SW and WSW, blowing 6 to 12 mph. The swell sits at 2 to 3 feet with good period—13 to 19 seconds—so there’s some energy, but the wind makes it a mess. The wave energy is moderate, but the comments are all “marginal” or “poor.” It’s small, bumpy, and not worth your time.
Then there’s a big gap from Wednesday the 19th through Sunday the 23rd. Swell drops below 2 feet, and the combined energy falls way down into the weak range. Some days it’s just flat, with swell heights around 0.7 feet and energy in the 50s. Nothing doing.
Now, the hopeful bit. On Friday the 28th of August, things perk up. The morning shows a 3-foot swell from the WSW with a 16-second period—that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light cross-on from the WNW at 6 mph, so it’ll be rideable. The combined energy jumps to 534 (moderate to strong). It’s not a perfect day, but it’s the best we’ve got.
If you want to surf, aim for KM-200 - Totoritas on the morning of the 28th. The swell direction lines up with what the spot likes, that long period will bring some shape, and it’s just big enough to be fun. Just a heads up, crowds are possible there sometimes.
Overall, this 16-day run is pretty bleak. There’s a long flat spell, and even the best session is only a 2 out of 10. If you’re into kiting, those onshore days might work, but for surfing, it’s a lot of sitting on the beach.
