The Lowdown
Right, pull up a stool. Rusty here, and I've been burning my eyeballs on the readout for this break. I’ll level with you: it’s a rough fortnight.
Starting from Saturday the 22nd of August, we’ve got a mean northerly breeze that just won’t quit, blowing straight onshore. That makes for choppy, lumpy, messy waves. The swell is there—once we get past the weekend, we see a proper NNW groundswell hitting 7 ft on Monday the 24th with a solid 12-second gap between waves—that’s powerful stuff (combined energy of 1118). But the wind is blowing at 12 mph right into it. The notes say “poor surf conditions” or “marginal” at best. For a reef that needs it glassy, this is a hard pass.
There’s one moment on the Sunday afternoon, the 23rd, where things get close. A 5 ft swell from the NNW with a long 14-second period—proper groundswell with some grunt (combined energy of 1048). The wind is still onshore at 9 mph, but it’s called “marginal” instead of outright poor. It’s the best of a bad lot, but the wind is going to put bumps on the face. Not a true standout.
Going into the second week, from the 26th onward, the wind doesn’t let up. It stays locked in from the NNE or NE, blowing 15 to 18 mph. The swell holds in the 6 ft to 7 ft range from the NE, but with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds. That’s just wind-chop with no power. The combined energy numbers are moderate, but the quality is zero. On the 30th of August (Sunday), there’s a 6 ft NE swell, but the wind is still onshore. Nothing to write home about.
Into September, more of the same. On the 3rd of September (Thursday), we see a 6 ft NE swell with an 8-second period and moderate energy (676). But again, the wind is howling cross-onshore, making it choppy. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for clean waves at La Derecha de Almaciga. This reef needs the wind off the land to work, and we’re getting the exact opposite.
Honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. That steady 12-18 mph onshore wind is perfect for it. For a surfer? It’s a long, dry spell.
Rusty.
