Table - best surf conditions forecast for La Santa - El Quemao over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a mixed bag for La Santa - El Quemao. To be honest, the first week and a half is pretty grim. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions right through until the 19th of July, with the wind mostly cross-on or cross-shore, and the swell either too small or all over the place. The water temp is sitting around 71°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real story starts to shift a little after that. The standout session, and really the only one that gets me excited, is the morning of Monday the 20th of July. We’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the NNE pushing through, with a combined energy of 1547 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, which is a major positive – it’ll keep things clean. This is a true expert wave, and on that day it’ll be a proper beast. The swell direction is a bit off from its optimum WNW, but the size and the clean conditions make it the best bet by a long shot. Just be aware, this break can get crowds sometimes, so expect company.
The rest of the second week from the 20th onwards sees the swell staying in the 5ft to 10ft range, but the wind never really cooperates, staying cross-on or cross for most of it. The energy is moderate to strong, but it’s a choppy, lumpy mess. Nothing else worth paddling out for.
So, if you’re an expert, hold out for that Monday morning. The rest is a write-off.
