Las Piscinas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Las Piscinas over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a real struggle. We’ve got a consistent run of swell, but the wind is the problem. It’s blowing onshore from the NNE for days on end, which absolutely kills the quality at this exposed reef break. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Friday, July 31st. The swell is still coming from the NNE at 6ft with a short period of 7 seconds, but the wind finally drops right back to a light breeze at 6 mph from the NNE. The combined energy is 299 (moderate), so you’ll feel some push, but it’s a marginal call. The tide or some other factor might mess with it, but it’s the first time the wind isn’t ruining it completely. You’d have to be keen, but it might be worth a look.

The next and only other window is Sunday, August 2nd. We’ve got the same story: NNE swell at 6ft, 8-second period, but the wind on the morning is a light breeze from the north at 6 mph. The combined energy is up to 434 (moderate), so there’s a bit more meat on the bones. Again, it’s flagged as marginal, but with that light wind, it’ll be a lot cleaner than what we’ve been seeing. The wind stays light in the afternoon, too, so you could get a session in.

The rest of the run is a write-off. The wind is either a moderate or fresh breeze, mostly onshore, and the wave comment is universally poor. For a spot that’s consistent like this, that’s a real bummer. The swell is there, but it’s being blown to bits.

So, if you’re desperate, your best bets are the afternoon of July 31st and the morning of August 2nd. Neither is a standout, but they’re the only two times the stars almost align. For a more reliable wave, you’ll be waiting for a change in the wind pattern.

Rusty.
