The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day run for La Derecha de Almaciga is a real test of patience. For the first twelve days, it’s basically a write-off. The swell is on the small side, but the real killer is the wind. It’s pinned onshore from the north-northeast or north nearly every session, chewing up what little wave energy there is. The combined energy barely cracks 241 (241) early on, and even when it climbs to a moderate 578 (578) on the 8th, the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. You won’t want to paddle out – this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
Then, finally, on Wednesday the 16th of September, we get a flicker of hope. The morning shows a clean 4ft groundswell from the NW with a very long period of 17 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore from the east. The combined energy jumps to 804 (804) – that’s a serious pulse of energy. This is the standout of the entire outlook. The swell direction (NW) is exactly what this reef break wants, and light cross-offshore wind means glassy conditions. Keep in mind, that long period groundswell can make beach breaks close out, but this is a reef, so it should line up nicely for a beginner-friendly wave. The afternoon turns a bit cross-onshore, so the morning window is the one to chase.
Sadly, that’s it. From Thursday the 17th onwards, the wind swings back onshore and the swell drops to a weak 2ft to 4ft with short period energy, all poor. It’s a long blank run, but with a fairly consistent spot like this, it tends not to stay poor for long – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
