The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in good old feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, I’m not stoked to tell you this, but the next 16 days at La Santa - El Quemao look pretty grim for a solid stretch. The first 12 days are a mess with strong, dirty cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy surf. It’s not a good scene.
The first real shift comes on Sunday, the 13th of September. The wind dials way back to a light cross-onshore, and the swell is a little over 4ft from the NNE. The energy is moderate at 298, but it’s still a marginal, questionable call. It’s a hint of better things.
The standout, the one you want to circle, is Monday the 14th of September. The morning session is your winner. A clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, and the swell is a small 3ft from the North. The energy is weak at 159, but the conditions are clean. The water is a touch warmer than average for this time of year at 75°.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are cleaner but tiny. On the 16th, we get a very long period groundswell from the NNW at 15 seconds, which is a great sign for the reef, but it’s only 2ft to 3ft. It’s small but clean.
Bottom line: forget the first week and a half. Your best window is the morning of Monday the 14th of September. It’s not a bomb, but it’s the only clean, decent option.
Rusty.
