The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a point break, La Punta - La Bellaca, that’s the only game in town for the next 16 days. It’s an inconsistent spot, so when it does fire, you gotta be on it. The first few days are a write-off – Sunday afternoon through Monday are a real mess with small, weak swell and cross-shore or cross-onshore winds messing up the surface. The water is a balmy 81°, which is a solid 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual; you’ll be in boardshorts.
The real standout window starts Tuesday morning, July 21st. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SW, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so the surface will be like a mirror. Combined energy is moderate at 425. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and high quality. This is the best early bet.
Looking further ahead, the real star of the show is Monday, July 27th, through Tuesday, July 28th. On Monday morning, we’re looking at a 6ft SW swell with a 19-second period – that’s *very* long period groundswell, packing a lot of punch. The combined energy is a massive 2041, which is strong. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 5ft and the period will make it powerful. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW, so it’ll be lined up. Tuesday morning then backs it up with a 6ft SW swell, 16-second period, and another strong energy reading of 1730, also with clean cross-off wind. This is the best of the whole forecast. Because it’s a point break, the long period will wrap in beautifully, giving long, walling rides. The crowds can be a factor here, so get there early.
After that, the swell drops but stays surfable. Wednesday, July 29th, the morning offers a glassy 5ft SW swell, and Thursday the 30th has a clean 4ft. The final week tapers off into smaller, clean mornings, with the morning of Saturday, August 2nd, being glassy with 3ft. A solid run, but the 27th and 28th are the ones to circle.
Rusty, signing off.
