The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
To be straight with you, this outlook for Las Piscinas is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, and the first recommendation doesn’t even hit the charts until... well, to be honest, it never really does. The entire period is a write-off for decent waves. From Monday, August 24th, right through to Tuesday, September 8th, every single report is flagged as poor surf conditions, and not one session scores above a zero internally. That’s a brutal stretch.
The core issue is simple: the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, usually from the NNE. Even when we get some size, like Monday morning the 24th with a 6-foot swell from the NNW and a period of 12 seconds, the wind messes it completely. That morning shows a combined energy of 985 (moderate energy), but with a NNE breeze at 9 mph blowing straight onshore, it’s just a messy wall. By afternoon, the wind picks up to 12 mph, and with a cross-onshore direction, it’s choppy and lumpy.
There’s a bit more juice later—Wednesday morning, September 2nd, shows a 7-foot swell from the NNE with an 8-second period and combined energy of 546 (moderate energy). But again, the wind is onshore, and that short period means the waves are crumbly and weak for the size.
The water temperature on that first Monday is running 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least a dip feels nice.
Because this is a reef break exposed to the swell, you’d think it’d handle the direction, but the optimum swell is from the N, and we keep getting NNE or NNW. Add in the constant wind from an offshore direction (NNE), and it’s just not cleaning up. Honestly, for a fair chunk of the period, with that steady side-shore wind and a beach-reef setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
No standouts here, folks. This is one of those blank runs that happens in the area. It’s not ideal, but forecasts can change, and it won’t stay poor forever.
Rusty.
