The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you about this stretch we’ve got lined up for La Derecha de Almaciga. Straight up, this is a tough run. Every single day in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions and there’s not a single recommendation to be had. That’s a blank 16-day outlook, which for an exposed spot like this is more normal when the wind and swell just don’t line up.
Water temp is sitting at 74°F on Monday the 13th, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling that with the wind messing things up. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best, spending most of its time under 200, just a few frustrating pulses above that.
We start Monday the 13th with a 4 ft swell from the NNW, but with a 9 mph cross-onshore from the NNE, it’s choppy and not worth paddling out. Tuesday the 14th drops to 3 ft, still cross-onshore, and the energy dips to a low 81. Wednesday and Thursday are just more of the same chunky, wind-affected junk. The swell builds a little by Friday the 17th to 5 ft from the NE, but the wind is still a cross-onshore mess at 16 mph, and the period is a short and weak 7 seconds. The energy climbs into the 200s but the quality is still zero.
We get a bit of size on Saturday the 26th (that's the last weekend of the month) with a 7 ft NE swell pushing energy up to 535 and 536, but the wind is onshore from the N and NNE at 12 to 16 mph. Period is still short at 8 seconds. That size is getting into the too-big-for-beginners zone, but with onshore winds and short period, even for a reef, it’s just a washing machine. Honestly, with that constant onshore and cross-onshore wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no standout period here—nothing clean, nothing glassy. Just a long, bleak run of poor surf.
Signing off,
Rusty
