Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for La Derecha del Cartel.
First things first, the opening stretch is a tough one. From Friday the 10th right through to the morning of Thursday the 16th, there’s nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, mostly 1 ft to 3 ft, with weak energy readings (between 8 and 98). It’s a total flat spell.
On Thursday the 16th afternoon, things finally stir. We get a bump from the NE at 4 ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy jumps to 124 (moderate). It’s surfable, but ordinary. The wind is offshore from the SSE at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. Friday the 17th looks similar with NE swell holding around 4 ft, period 7 sec, and nice offshore cross-off winds from the ESE at 6 mph. Energy is moderate (134). It’s a start.
Then Saturday the 18th afternoon brings the first real window. The swell from the NE builds to 4 ft, period 8 sec, and the energy jumps to 220 (strong). The wind is light from the SSE at 3 mph, making for clean conditions. The reef will handle that period well. Crowds are “often,” so expect some company.
But the real standout is Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th. This is the one. Friday morning we see a solid 5 ft NE swell, period 9 sec, with energy shooting up to 365 (strong). Offshore winds from the ESE at 6 mph. By Friday afternoon, it’s even better: 6 ft from the NE, period 9 sec, energy hits 537 (very strong), and offshore winds from the SE at 6 mph. Saturday the 25th morning keeps that momentum with 6 ft NE swell, period 9 sec, energy 527 (very strong), and light offshore winds from the SSE at 3 mph. This is proper groundswell. At over 5 ft, it’s for the experienced crew. Water temp is about average for the season.
The rest of the second week, from Sunday the 19th through Thursday the 23rd, is a mixed bag of small swells and onshore winds. Not worth it.
So, the first week is a wash. Save your energy for Saturday the 18th afternoon for a decent session, but the real gold is Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th. That’s the one.
Rusty.
