Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for your local stretch.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a real flat spell to sit through. From now all the way through to July 16th, there’s basically nothing doing. The swell just isn’t there, and when it does show, it’s tiny and weak. You’ll be looking at knee-high slop, pretty much every day. The wind is often glassy or clean, but without any push, it doesn’t matter.
We finally see a pulse of energy kick in around July 17th, but it’s still pretty ordinary. Friday the 17th morning gives us a little bump of 4ft from the NE, with a short period of 6 seconds and moderate wave energy (108). It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
The real standout, and the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Sunday July 19th. That morning, the wind is dead calm – glass – and we get a solid 5ft of NE swell, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy jumps right up to a strong 278. Conditions look really good. By the afternoon, you’ve got a gentle 6 mph offshore from the SE keeping it clean, and the energy is even higher at 313. Monday the 20th keeps that energy going with a similar 5ft NE swell and clean conditions. The water temp is sitting at a warm 73°F, which is totally normal for this time of year.
For the break itself, La Derecha del Cartel is a reef setup, so it can handle a longer period swell well. It’s fairly consistent and exposed to the NW, but this swell is coming from the NE, so it’s a bit off the optimum direction. Still, with that much energy and clean winds, it’s your best bet. Expect some company though – crowds are often around here. Keep it on your radar for the 19th and 20th.
Rusty.
