The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next two weeks at La Derecha del Cartel. Honestly, it's looking like a real drought. There's bugger-all on the table for a while, so don't plan any sick days just yet.
The only real tease is early Monday the 7th. A small 3ft swell from the northeast, but the period is a short 6 seconds. It's glassy with a light SSE breeze, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is weak at 130. Water temp is 76°F, which is about standard for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
After that, it's empty. From Tuesday through the weekend, we're looking at ankle-biters, around 1 to 2 feet. The winds stay light and often glassy, but there's just no energy in the water. The combined swell energy is consistently weak, often below 100. You might find a grovelly 4ft wave on Friday the 11th from the northeast, but again, the period is short, so it'll be soft and crumbly.
From the 12th through the 21st, it's virtually flat. Swell heights barely move past 2ft and periods stay short. There are some longer period swells around the 14th and 15th, but they're coming from the NNW and are far too small to matter. It's going to look like a pond out there. This is a proper flat spell, and for a spot that's usually fairly consistent, it's a bit of a shock.
The one remote possibility is Friday the 18th in the afternoon. The wind goes dead glassy, and we get a 4ft northeast swell, albeit with a 6-second period. The energy is moderate at 142. It's still a junky wind swell, but it might be the only rideable wave you'll see all week. That's a long way out, so don't book your flights, but it's the only glimmer on the chart. This break is usually more reliable than this, so I wouldn't expect the flatness to last forever. Forecasts can change.
Rusty, signing off.
