The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown on La Punta - La Bellaca in feet and Fahrenheit.
The first stretch is a bit of a dud. Swell’s around, but the wind is junk. The water temp is a steamy 80°, which is much warmer than average for this time of year – over five degrees warmer than normal, so the ocean is feeling more like summer.
The first decent shot comes on Monday morning, August 31st. It’s only 3ft of SW swell, but the wind turns light and cross-offshore, cleaning the surface. The period is 12 seconds, giving it a bit of punch (combined energy of 320). For a spot that’s inconsistent, a clean 3ft day is a solid start.
The big one, the one you’ve been waiting for, is the morning of Friday, September 4th. We’re looking at 6ft of SW groundswell with a 16-second period, cranking out a massive 1474 combined energy. The wind is a clean cross-offshore at 15 km/h. This is a proper session for experienced surfers only – anything over 5ft here is no joke, and with that long period, it’ll be heavy. The swell direction is dead on the optimum from the SW, so the point will be firing. That’s the day to take off work.
Saturday morning, September 5th, is still good with 5ft of SW swell and the same cross-off wind, but the energy drops to 944. It’s a fun follow-up, but not the standout.
Then there’s a long gap of messy conditions, but on Monday morning, September 7th, we get a glassy window. The swell is only 3ft, but the wind is totally dead from the NW, making it mirror-flat. If you want a clean, easy session, that’s your moment.
The second week is smaller and windier. The morning of Saturday, September 12th, is worth a look: 3ft of SW swell with a 13-second period and a clean cross-off wind. The best bet in the second week is the morning of Monday, September 14th – 2ft of SW swell, 12-second period, cross-off wind, and clean. For an inconsistent break, that’s a solid little session.
So, bottom line: Friday the 4th of September morning is the standout. The rest is about picking the clean windows.
Rusty.
