The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat on the sand. Rusty checkin’ in with the story on La Derecha de Almaciga for the next sixteen days.
I’m gonna level with you – this forecast is a bummer. There’s not a single session in the entire 16-day window I’d recommend paddling out for. The main culprit is the wind. For the first week, it’s hammerin’ from the north and north-northeast, either onshore or cross-onshore, at a steady 12 mph to 19 mph. That’s puttin’ a nasty, choppy texture on every wave, and the report just keeps sayin’ “poor surf conditions.” Even when there’s a little bump in swell, the quality is completely wrecked.
There is a pulse of energy around the 28th of August, with the swell hittin’ about 8 ft from the northeast and the combined wave energy really crankin’ up (814 to 958). But don’t be fooled. That swell is runnin’ on a short 8-second period and it’s blowin’ a fresh cross-onshore breeze. That’s a recipe for a bumpy, lumpy mess. For a beginner-friendly reef, anything over 5 ft starts to get a bit much, and with that wind, it’s not surfable. Honestly, that mid-period peak looks way better for kite surfing than paddlin’.
The second week shows a little more promise on the swell front, with the period stretchin’ out to 12 seconds around the 1st of September – proper groundswell energy (620 to 881). But the wind stubbornly stays cross-onshore from the northeast. The swell direction swings around to the NNW, which is better for this exposed spot, but the wind still kills it before it even stands up. Water temp is normal for the time of year.
I hate to say it, but there’s just no joy here. For a break that’s usually pretty reliable, a dry spell this long is a bit of a surprise, but the ocean does what it wants. No standouts. No hidden gems. Just a long, blank forecast. Best to keep the board in the bag and wait for a better day.
Rusty.
