The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at the forecast for La Derecha del Cartel.
Right now, we’re in a real flat spell. The first week and a bit is almost all tiny, weak surf – not much to get excited about. The water temperature’s sitting at 25°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the wait’s comfortable.
We do get some glimmers. Saturday the 29th of August has a small 2ft of swell from the NNW with a 10-second period, and it’s glassy in the morning with a light SSE breeze. The energy’s weak at 62, and the waves are surfable but very ordinary. Still, a glassy morning is a nice way to get wet.
The first real standout comes on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The afternoon sees a 4ft NE swell with a short period of 8 seconds, but the energy jumps up to 208 – that’s moderate energy. The wind’s offshore from the ESE, around 15 km/h, keeping things clean. Expect good surf conditions. This is the best on offer, but the period is short so the waves might be a bit lumpy and lack that real power. It’s a right-hand reef break, so it should handle the swell direction just fine.
After that, it fades again. A few more tiny pulses roll through with glassy mornings on the 6th and 7th of September, but the swell stays under 1ft with weak energy. The waves are only “surfable but very ordinary”.
The very end of the outlook, on Friday the 11th of September, shows a slight lift: an afternoon of 3ft WNW swell, with a 10-second period and energy of 170. The wind is light and cross-off from the ESE, so the surface will be clean. It’s still not big, but it’s the second-best window we’ve got, and it might offer some fun little runners.
To be straight with you, there’s no true pumping swell in this 16-day window. The near-term is dominated by tiny, weak waves. The best of a pretty ordinary run is that Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon, and possibly the Friday the 11th afternoon. If the crowds are at the usual level – and they can be around at this spot – you might have the waves to yourself on the smaller days.
