The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break it down for La Derecha del Cartel. The first few days are a total bust. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th have tiny, weak swell—0.3m to 0.4m from the NW, with combined energy barely hitting 13 to 28. It’s poor surf, not worth a paddle.
Then Monday morning the 7th, we get a little bump. Swell comes in at 0.9m from the NE, combined energy jumps to 108 (moderate), and the wind goes glassy—dead calm, offshore. That’s clean, but the period is only 6 seconds, so the waves are weak and crumbly. Still, it’s the best we’ve got. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Tuesday the 8th is the real standout. Swell is 0.6m from the NW, period up to 11 seconds, and combined energy at 118 (moderate). Morning wind is light offshore from the SE, turning glassy in the afternoon. That’s clean, with longer period giving better shape. This is your window.
After Tuesday, it’s a steep drop-off. Wednesday the 9th has a 0.5m NW swell but by afternoon the energy is down to 32. Thursday the 10th has a 0.9m NE pulse in the afternoon with 75 energy, but it’s short period. From Friday the 11th onward, it’s flat or near-flat, with energy readings in the single digits or low teens. By Tuesday the 15th, we’re at 0.2m glassy but no power. The second week is a total washout.
So, the best bet is Monday morning the 7th and the full day Tuesday the 8th. That’s where you’ll find the cleanest, glassiest conditions with the most go. The rest is a desert.
Rusty.
