The Lowdown
Alright, ol’ mate Rusty here. Let’s have a chat about your local stretch.
Alright, look. I’ll be straight with ya – the first week and a half is a write-off and I’d be findin’ something else to do. Gonna be a long, flat gap with nothin’ worthwhile. The first glimmer of a chance doesn’t show up until Sunday the 23rd of August, and even then, it’s pushin’ it.
The standout for this whole forecast is Monday the 24th of August. There’s a window that’s worth chasin’. Las Piscinas will be seein’ a solid 6ft swell rolling in from the NNE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy’s moderate at 556 (kinda raw energy buildin’). The wind’s lookin’ light out of the NNE, but it’s a cross-on, so expect a few small wind ripples on the face. It’s a reef break that’s consistent and exposed, and this swell direction is bang on from the north. The water’s a touch warmer than normal here at 75°, which is nice for this time of year – about 2° above average. It’s a more intermediate-friendly setup, but remember, it’s a reef, so keep your wits about ya.
The few days before and after that Monday are still lookin’ messy and poor. The wind stays cross-on or onshore mostly, and the wave quality is just not there. On the Sunday the 23rd, the swell bumps up to 7ft from the NNE with a period of 10 seconds, energy is strong at 698, but it’s still labelled as poor surf conditions. Too big for beginners, and the conditions aren’t clean enough to rave about.
So, in short – the whole first week is a dud. You’ll be sittin’ on the beach for most of it. The only real chance to wet a line is that Monday the 24th, and maybe a cheeky look at Sunday the 23rd if you’re desperate, but keep your expectations in check. The long-range is lookin’ a little more promising, but we’re talkin’ a week and a half away, so don’t lock in your plans just yet.
Rusty.
