The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this stretch is a bit of a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’ve got swell running the whole time, but the conditions are pretty challenging. The wind is the main problem here – it’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which is going to mess up the surface on just about every session. The first few days are particularly poor, with only small, weak waves and choppy, bumpy conditions. We’re talking about a run of days where the surf is just not worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of any decent energy comes from around July 22nd onwards, when the swell starts to build. But again, the wind is still mostly onshore, so the quality is going to suffer. The waves will be bigger, but messy.
The standout period, if you can call it that, is the weekend of July 26th and 27th. The swell is solid, with waves hitting around 8ft from the NNE, and the energy is strong (1040 and 960 on the combined energy scale). That’s proper, powerful groundswell, but it’s a double-edged sword. For a reef like Las Piscinas, that long-period energy (9 seconds) will groom into some nice, shapely lines, but the onshore wind (N at 12-18 mph) will still be blowing across the face. It’s going to be a bit of a battle. This is definitely expert territory – big, powerful, and wind-affected. Definitely not for beginners. If you’re an experienced surfer and you can handle a bit of chop, this could be your window.
The water temperature is sitting at 73°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year. So, it’s a little warmer than usual, but nothing too crazy.
Honestly, for the first week, I’d be tempted to say the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the constant onshore wind and building swell. The quality is just not there for a clean, fun paddle session.
In short, keep your expectations low for the first week. The second week has the size and power, but the wind is a constant headache. Nothing is a guaranteed winner, but the 26th and 27th offer the best chance for a solid, if messy, session.
Rusty.
