Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Derecha de Almaciga over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at this 16-day window for the area, it’s a bit of a struggle. The models are showing a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" with no standout days to get excited about. There's a gap right from the start of the period with no good recommendations, and honestly, it stays that way all the way through. We’re looking at a blank run that goes from Tuesday, July 7th, all the way to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, July 22nd. That’s a long stretch without a proper session.
Let’s be real about the only option we have: La Derecha de Almaciga. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, which is a small positive. It’s exposed to the swell and loves a NW direction. But the problem is, the wind is just never on your side. The entire period, we’re looking at onshore, cross-onshore, or at best, a light cross-onshore breeze. That’s going to chop up whatever tiny waves are coming in.
The first week is a complete write-off. Swell is tiny, period is short, and it’s blown out. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (45 to 82) in the early days. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing.
Towards the end of the second week, around July 16th, the swell actually starts to build. We’re seeing chest to head-high waves, around 5ft to 6ft, and the combined energy kicks up into the moderate range (269 to 433). That’s a much better amount of water moving. The direction is from the NE, which isn't the optimum NW for this spot, but it's still swell. The problem is that even with bigger swell, it's still coming with a strong onshore wind, 15-16 mph or more, which will make it a choppy, bumpy mess. The period is short, about 7-8 seconds, so it’s windswell, not a clean groundswell. For a beginner spot, this size (over 5ft) is starting to get a bit much, and the conditions will be ugly.
Even with the bigger swell near the end, the constant "poor surf conditions" tag means there’s nothing here I’d recommend paddling out for. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. No standout, no hidden gem, just a long wait for the forecast to change. This is a "leave the boards in the car" kind of outlook.
Rusty.
