The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Truth is, mate, it's a bit of a tough stretch. The surf is there, but it's almost always blown out or just plain messy. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, there's no true standout, no session that's screaming "get in the water right now." The best of a bad bunch is probably Sunday morning, the 23rd of August, at Las Piscinas. That morning, we've got a moderate 269 units of combined swell energy, with a 3ft swell from the north. The period is a decent 10 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, and the wind is a light cross-onshore breeze. It's not perfect, but it's the most promising window we've got. The water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 75°F.
The rest of the period is a bit of a grind. From Saturday the 22nd right through to the end of the forecast, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing anywhere from 9 mph to 16 mph, and it's labelling the conditions as "poor surf conditions" or "marginal" at best. The swell stays between 3ft and 8ft, with periods mostly under 10 seconds, which means weak, short-period wind swell with no real punch. The combined energy figures are all over the shop, from a weak 64 up to a strong 901 on the Monday morning of the 24th, but again, the wind just ruins it. That 7ft to 8ft swell we see from the 28th to the 30th of August might look big, but with the 16 mph onshore winds, it's going to be a washing machine out there. For a reef break that's consistent and exposed, it's a shame.
If you're determined, the Sunday morning of the 23rd is your best bet. That 3ft, 10-second north swell at Las Piscinas with the light cross-onshore is the only time the conditions even approach being surfable. After that, it's a long wait. There are no other recommendations. Just a whole lot of wind and chop.
Rusty.
