The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for this spot.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run. We’re looking at a whole lot of small, weak surf with only a few brief windows of anything rideable. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny waves and mostly clean but gutless conditions. You’ll be waiting until Tuesday the 8th of September for a proper highlight.
The standout is undoubtedly Tuesday morning, September 8th, at La Derecha del Cartel. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NE, with a clean offshore breeze from the ESE at 15 km/h. The energy is moderate (207), and the conditions are described as “gentle offshore and clean.” That’s the best shape we’re going to see – still not huge, but with that offshore wind it’ll be lined up and fun for a intermediate surfer. The swell direction from the NE is a good fit for the break’s optimum NW direction, so it should wrap in nicely.
Sunday the 6th of September has a few glassy sessions, but the swell is tiny at 1.0ft and the energy is very low (16), so it’s more of a longboard or pond-paddle situation.
Tuesday the 8th afternoon fades quickly, and after that, it’s back to very ordinary conditions. Thursday the 10th morning has a brief bump of 3ft NE swell with some energy (104) and glassy conditions, but it’s still on the small side and not a true standout.
The pattern is clear: a long stretch of flat, small, or weak surf from now until the 7th, one decent morning on the 8th, then a slide back into tiny waves for the rest of the forecast. The last few days into the 18th show nothing but glassy, flat conditions. It’s not a great run, but that Tuesday morning window is worth keeping an eye on if you’re keen for a clean, small-wave session.
Rusty.
