The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what's on the cards. Straight up, I gotta be real with you – this is a tough stretch for Las Piscinas. The groundswell is just not lining up, and we've got a persistent cross-onshore wind that's gonna mess up the face. The water's sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a little bonus if you're paddling out.
Looking at the first few days, from Saturday the 15th through to the end of the week, the swell is small and weak. The combined energy is only around 200-300 (moderate), and it's that short-period NNE windswell at 7-9 seconds. The wind is a consistent cross-onshore, so the surf is going to be choppy and messy. It's pretty much a no-go for a decent paddle. Honestly, for a few days there, it's looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one, with that strong cross-onshore wind and a bumpy, 3 ft to 5 ft wave.
We roll into the second week, and things don't get much better. The swell picks up a bit around the 24th, with the combined energy jumping to 660 (strong wave energy) on Monday morning, but the swell height is around 7 ft. That's a bit sizeable for a beach break, but the real killer is the wind. It's still cross-onshore from the NE, making it raw and ugly. On the 25th and 26th, the swell is around 6 ft to 6 ft, and the energy is still strong (400-460), but the period is short (8 seconds) and the wind is still in the wrong direction. It's just not going to be a clean or enjoyable session.
The only glimmer of hope is right at the very end of the run, on Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th. The swell drops right off, but the wind swings around to a light offshore from the NNW, or even a light variable. The wave height will be tiny, maybe 2 ft to 3 ft, with combined energy barely hitting 90 (weak). The period is a bit longer at 8 seconds, so it might have a bit more shape. But honestly, it's a long wait for ankle-biters.
I can't pick a single standout here. The whole 16-day window is a bust. The surf is poor, the conditions are poor, and the consistency is just a flat line of bad news. Sometimes you get a blank run, and this is one of them. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd save your energy and wax for another day.
