The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Las Piscinas are a tough watch. There’s a real dry spell coming. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions stretching from Monday the 20th of July all the way through to Friday the 31st of July. That’s a long gap of over a week with nothing worth getting excited about, so don’t bother rushing down there.
The main issue is the wind. It’s blowing from the north to north-northeast most of the time, and that’s straight onshore for this spot. When it’s not onshore, it’s a messy cross-onshore. That wind state is just killing any chance of clean waves. The swell is there, bumping up from 6ft to 8ft, and the combined energy climbs from moderate (306) right up to strong (887) by the weekend of the 25th and 26th, but it’s all short period stuff – mostly 7 to 8 seconds. That’s just windswell, chopped up and messy. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year at 73°, but that doesn’t help the surf.
There is a slight glimmer, but it’s way out there. On Saturday the 1st of August, conditions look a little more promising. We’ve got a 7ft to 7ft NNE swell, period stretching to 9 seconds, and the wind finally drops to a gentle breeze from the north. The combined energy is moderate to strong (600 to 725). It’s still onshore, but lighter. The forecast calls it “marginal,” so it’s a maybe. Then on Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell holds at 8ft, same 9-second period, but the combined energy jumps to 1151 – that’s strong wave energy. If that NNE swell lines up right, and with the wind still a moderate breeze from the north, there might be a window. This is a reef setup, and with a 9-second period, it’s not a classic groundswell, but it’s the best we’ve got. The 8ft is getting big, so this is for the experienced crew only.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s no standout. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that Sunday the 2nd of August, but don’t hold your breath. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a pretty blank run. For a reef break that’s consistent, this is a quiet spell.
Rusty.
