The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow burner for the next couple of weeks. The surf starts off pretty quiet and builds through the first week, with a couple of mornings that are worth getting out of bed for.
Water temp is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s nice, but don’t get too excited just yet.
The first real chance to paddle out comes Friday 29th August at La Derecha del Cartel (reef). It’s small, only 2ft from the NNW, with a 10-second period. The energy is weak (62) and the wind is cross-off, so it’s clean but nothing to write home about. Saturday morning 30th August sees a bump to 3ft from the NE, period still short at 7 seconds, energy a bit better at 139, with offshore SE wind. It’s surfable, but still ordinary.
The standout is shaping up for Wednesday 3rd September morning. The swell jumps to 4ft from the NE with an 8-second period and moderate energy (202). The wind is glassy, and the water is dead calm. Clean conditions, good shape for a reef. That’s your best bet across the whole window. The afternoon holds at 4ft and 250 energy, still offshore from the SSE, so you could get a solid session in.
Thursday 4th September morning is still okay at 4ft from the NE, but the energy drops to 147 and the wind is offshore. After that, things fade quickly. The second week gets messy – from 4th September afternoon through to 6th September, it’s mostly poor surf with tiny swell and onshore or cross-onshore wind. A few days with nothing happening.
Tuesday 9th September afternoon has a bit of a pulse: 5ft from the NE, 7-second period, energy at 249, and glassy conditions. That’s another good window, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it. The swell is short period, so it’ll be a bit jumbled, but clean and rideable.
Overall, the best clean surf is Wednesday 3rd September morning and Tuesday 9th September afternoon. For a reef break, the offshore and glassy winds will make it butter. Crowds are possible at La Derecha del Cartel, so get in early.
