The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the imperial rundown.
The outlook starts the same: a long, flat spell at La Derecha del Cartel. The opening weekend is a write-off, and we don’t get anything worth paddling out for until mid-week. The 13th of August is the first flicker. Thursday afternoon sees the swell bump to about 5 ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 222, and it’s glassy calm – dead flat water, perfect conditions.
The best days are Friday the 14th of August. The swell holds around 5 ft to 5 ft from the NE. The morning sees a light cross-offshore breeze at 10 km/h from the ESE, keeping the surface clean. The afternoon turns glassy calm again. The combined energy is strong at 264 to 277, which is about as good as this stretch gets. Saturday the 15th of August morning still holds 6 ft from the NE with glass, but it fades fast by the afternoon. Short period means it’s not heavy, but with clean, glassy conditions, it’ll be fun, rideable reef surf. That Thursday to Saturday morning window is your only real chance.
After that, it goes flat again until the end of the 16 days. This kind of dead run is unusual for here, but that’s the hand we’ve been dealt.
Rusty.
