The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let's look at the next sixteen days. Truth be told, the start is a real bummer. We’ve got nothing worth paddling for until we hit the first week of August. So, a solid week of flatness and tiny close-out slop with no energy behind it, all starting now.
Alright, the first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday the 5th of August in the afternoon at La Derecha del Cartel. We’re looking at a jump in swell to a clean 7 ft from the NE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and disorganised. The combined energy is strong at 322. The wind goes glassy from the ESE, which will tidy it up on the face, but that short period means it’s really just for the bigger boards or a bit of fun if you’re desperate. It's a fairly consistent reef break, and it can get crowded, so heads up on that.
Then we hit Sunday the 9th of August. The morning is still ordinary with 4 ft NE swell at a 6-second period (energy 170) but clean under a light ESE offshore. It’s the afternoon that starts to look better: 5 ft NE swell, still a short 6 seconds, but energy jumps to 219, and with a light S cross-off wind, it’s clean. The wave quality is picking up.
The real standout of this whole outlook is Monday the 10th of August. The morning offers 5 ft NE swell, still short period at 8 seconds, but energy is a solid 237. The wind is a clean 9 mph ESE cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon is even better: same 5 ft NE swell, but the wind swings to a clean 6 mph SE offshore, making it absolute butter. That’s the session to aim for. The water temp is around 74°F, which is about normal for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Beyond that, it fades back into small, weak waves for the rest of the window. The 11th of August has some wind issues in the morning, and then it’s back to tiny glassy 2 ft slop for the end of the run. Not much to chase after that Monday.
So, for the whole 16 days, you’re waiting a week for anything, and then Monday the 10th of August is your best bet. Get out there for that one.
