The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next 16 days. To be honest, it's a lean stretch for La Derecha del Cartel. There's barely a pulse for the first week and a half, with mostly flat, gutless conditions that aren't worth getting wet for. The only real standout comes right at the tail end of the period.
The first decent action kicks off on Thursday, July 30th, in the afternoon. A small pulse of 6ft NE windswell shows up with a short 6-second period. The water's sitting at a nice 74°, which is about normal for this time of year. The real beauty is the glassy, light S wind making it look like a sheet of glass. It's an exposed reef setup, and it will offer a few fun ones, but the energy is only moderate (235), so it'll be a short-lived window.
After that, it's a long, flat spell. The swell drops right off and stays puny for over a week. There's a sniff of something on Monday, August 3rd morning with 4ft from the NE and a 5-second period, but the energy is still weak (103) and the shape won't be there. Then the waves just vanish. There are days with zero swell recorded. You're looking at a solid gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Finally, things get interesting towards the end of the run. On Wednesday, August 12th, the afternoon brings a proper pulse. We've got 5ft of NE swell, with a 7-second period and good, clean offshore wind from the SE. The energy is strong (252) and this will put some real push into the waves. This is the pick of the bunch—a proper session on the cards with clean conditions on an exposed reef. The following morning, Thursday, August 13th, still has some 4ft swell left over, but with glassy NNE winds, it'll still be a good, if slightly weaker, option.
So, to wrap it up: the next week and a half are a write-off. The best window is the afternoon of Wednesday, August 12th, and you could sneak a session on the morning of the 13th. Beyond that, it's back to the small stuff.
