La Chucha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what La Chucha's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a grim stretch. We're lookin' at a proper flat spell, with barely a ripple worth paddlin' for. The water's sitting at a warm 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it'll be a nice dip, but there's no surf to go with it.

Right now, Monday afternoon the 14th, we've got a tiny 2ft windswell from the east with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is super weak, just 36. The wind is light onshore, so it's a mess. Not worth your time.

Tuesday morning the 15th is glassy, flat as a tack with only 1ft on offer. That's a complete write-off. Same story Tuesday afternoon. The rest of that week, from Wednesday the 16th right through to Saturday the 19th, is a total bust. We're talkin' days of nothing, with the odd tiny sliver of 0.7ft or 1ft of short-period slop. There's a bit of a pulse on Saturday the 19th afternoon, with the swell bumpin' up to 4ft from the east, but the period is a pitiful 5 seconds and it's gettin' smacked by a 16 mph cross-onshore. Choppy, junky, nothin' to get excited about. The energy is still weak at 77.

Now, there is one window that looks *marginally* interesting. Sunday morning the 20th, we get a bit of a boost. Swell hits 5ft from the east with a 7-second period. The combined energy climbs to 239, which is a moderate pulse. The wind is light cross-shore, so it won't be too bumpy. But let's be real, it's still a short-period windswell. For a break that's rated as "inconsistent", this is about as good as it's gonna get this week. This is the only standout, but it's not a standout by much. Monday the 21st morning has a similar 5ft, 7-second east swell with 328 energy and light cross-shore winds, which is the best energy we'll see. The report says "marginal surf," which is exactly what it is.

After that, it's back to the doldrums. Tuesday the 22nd through the end of the forecast on the 29th is more of the same: tiny waves, weak energy, and mostly onshore winds. There's a moment of glass on the 27th Sunday afternoon with a tiny 1ft from the west, but it's nothin'. The whole second week is a write-off, so don't hold your breath.

Bottom line: if you're desperate, the best chance you've got is Sunday the 20th morning or Monday the 21st morning for a few bumpy, wind-affected 5ft waves. Otherwise, leave the boards at home.

Rusty.
