Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Derecha del Cartel over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming for our little corner of the lineup. This is for La Derecha del Cartel, a reef setup that loves a good NW groundswell.
The next week and a half is pretty flat and sleepy, so don't get too excited just yet. The first few days are a straight-up tease. We're looking at a real slow start, with next to nothing worth paddling for from Sunday the 12th right through to early Friday the 17th. You'll be sitting on the beach watching the ripples for days.
Then, things finally wake up. Friday the 17th of July is where we get our first proper shout. Morning glass, clear skies, and a pulse of swell pushing in at 5 ft from the NE. The combined energy is sitting at 200, which is moderate, but after all the nothing we’ve had, it’s a welcome change. The wind drops to a dead calm with glassy conditions, making for some clean, workable reef waves. It’s a short period swell though, around 6 seconds, so don’t expect long-running freight trains – more like punchy little wedges off the reef. This is the standout of the whole window, but honestly, with the bar this low, it’s the only one that gets the heart pumping.
After that little spike, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the period drifts back into poor or very ordinary conditions. We get a few glimpses of knee-high slop on the 20th and 25th, but nothing that’ll get you out of bed early. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so don’t stress about a cold one.
Look, it's a bleak run. There's one day that looks like a fun morning session, but otherwise, this reef is on a serious holiday. Stay hopeful, forecasts can change. Rusty out.
