The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat and let’s have a look at what’s coming up for La Fitenia over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for this exposed reef break. The first week is mostly a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell and hardly any energy in the water. The combined swell energy struggles to get past 68 (moderate), with most days sitting well under 100 (weak). That’s basically a flat spell for a reef that needs a bit of push to come alive. The wind does try to be kind at times, with some glassy and cross-off mornings, but there’s just not enough swell to work with. From Tuesday 6th August right through to Friday 9th August, forget about it – the swell is flat or barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The second week doesn’t offer much more, I’m afraid. A few tiny pulses creep in around Sunday 16th August and Monday 17th August, with a 0.7ft to 1.0ft SSW swell showing up. The period stretches to 15 seconds on the 16th, which is a very long groundswell, but at that size it’s barely a bump. The combined energy is still very weak (21 to 41). The wind is light and glassy or cross-off on those mornings, which would normally be a dream, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.
The only time the surf even becomes “surfable” is on Tuesday 18th August afternoon. That’s the best of a very poor bunch. We’ll see a 1ft SSW swell at 13 seconds, combined energy of 60 (weak), and the wind goes glassy. It’s a tiny, clean wave for a beginner on a longboard. The reef break is pretty consistent, so it should hold that tiny swell, but don’t expect any power. For experts, it’s a non-event.
Honestly, this is a 16-day window with almost nothing on offer. The reef is exposed, and it’s just not getting any love from the swell direction. It’s a blank run that’s fairly normal for this area when the swell is this quiet. Keep an eye on the charts, these dry spells don’t last forever.
