Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Derecha del Cartel over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and miles.
First week is a total bust. There’s a big dry spell from Monday July 13th right through Friday the 17th. The waves are tiny, the energy is weak, and there’s just nothing to ride. You’re looking at flat or near-flat conditions.
Then, on Saturday the 18th, we get a pulse of life at La Derecha del Cartel. This is a reef break that’s pretty consistent. A 4ft swell rolls in from the NE with a short 8-second period, but the energy hits 219 (moderate). The wind is glassy in the morning and clean in the afternoon, making for some really smooth, clean waves. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. At 4ft, it’s a good size for intermediates, but this spot is *often* crowded, so don’t expect to have it to yourself. This is your best bet in the whole 16-day window.
Sunday the 19th holds similar 5ft NE swell with glassy morning conditions and energy around 220 (moderate), but it fades fast by the afternoon.
After that, from Monday the 20th onward, it’s back to small, weak surf. There are a couple of days later on (like the 25th and 26th) where the swell bumps back to around 4ft from the NE, but the conditions are just ordinary, not special.
Bottom line: if you’re itching for a paddle, circle Saturday the 18th at La Derecha del Cartel. That’s the one.
Rusty.
