The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down the outlook for Las Piscinas. It’s a consistent reef break that fires best when the swell rolls in from the north. The water's about 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is pretty shabby for a decent surf. That northerly wind just won’t quit, blowing mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface all chopped up. Wave energy is there, flickering between 149 and 627 units, but the swell period is a short 7 to 8 seconds. That means weak, wind-battered, and short-lined waves. Not the stuff of dreams.
There is one bright spot. On the morning of September 13, the wind is set to go glassy out of the east-southeast. We’re talking a mirror-flat ocean. The swell will be a clean 4ft out of the north, with a slightly better 8-second period and a combined energy of 359. It won’t be the biggest wave you’ve ever seen, but with those glassy conditions, it’ll be the cleanest of the entire run. That morning is your real window. The afternoon, as usual, turns cross-onshore again.
After that, it's a slow decline. A couple of days of average cross-onshore breezes and dropping swell energy, until the 16th when we’re down to a weak 2ft swell with a longer 12-second period. That period will help with shape, but at that size, it’s a log or a lie-in.
So, one golden morning on the 13th. Otherwise, this is a waiting game.
Rusty.
