The Lowdown
Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
I'm sorry to say it, but this is a pretty bleak outlook. The entire 16-day window is a total washout. We've got swell coming in, but the wind is going to ruin every single session. There's not a single recommendation in the entire forecast.
La Derecha de Almaciga is the only spot we're looking at, and it's a reef that can be fun. But from Friday the 7th of August all the way through to Saturday the 22nd of August, it's a constant story of onshore and cross-onshore wind from the north and north-northwest. The swell is coming from the northeast and north-northeast, with a short, weak period of just 6 to 7 seconds for the first two weeks, so the waves are going to be choppy and gutless. The combined energy is moderate, starting around 307 (moderate wave energy) and peaking at 621 (moderate wave energy) by the 20th, but it's all for nothing with that wind.
The swell does build up, from about 5ft to 6ft, and by the 19th of August the period stretches to 9 seconds, which is a little better. But the wind is relentless. The 19th, 20th, and 21st of August have a slightly better period, but it's still onshore, so it's going to be a messy, blown-out affair. For a beginner-friendly reef, this is a total no-go. The optimum swell direction is from the northwest, but we're getting northeast and north-northeast, so it's not even hitting the break properly.
There's a moment on the 20th of August where the swell hits 6ft with a 9-second period and combined energy at 621 (moderate wave energy). But with the wind blowing onshore at 15-16 mph, it's just going to be a washing machine. This whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
There's nothing to get excited about here. It's a long, dry spell. Forecasts can change, but for now, this is a 16-day shutout.
Rusty.
