The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at the waves coming our way.
Right off the bat, I'll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a mixed bag for Las Piscinas. It’s a reef break that’s consistent, but a lot of the time the wind and the swell just aren’t playing nice. There is one real standout morning, but you’ve got to be sharp to get it.
The best of the lot hits on Monday morning, September 14th. It’s not massive, with chest-high swell around 4ft pushing in from the NNE. The period is short, only 8 seconds, but with the wind glassy out of the WSW at just 3 mph, that reef will be clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate (287) so it’ll have some push, but it’s not a freight train. This is the pick of the entire forecast for an intermediate surfer. It won’t be empty though – this spot can get crowded, so expect some company on the peak.
After that morning, the wind turns onshore from the north for the afternoon, and it’s pretty much downhill from there. The next few days see that northerly wind picking up, making a mess of things. On Thursday morning, September 17th, the swell jumps to 6ft from the NNE with a short period (7 seconds), and the wind is howling onshore at 16 mph. That’s strong wave energy (317), but it’ll be a lumpy, blown-out mess – expert-only if you’re keen on a beating.
The whole second half of September is a struggle. Winds stay onshore or cross-onshore for days. The swell direction swings around to the NNW, with heights bouncing from 2ft up to 4ft, but the quality just isn't there. A couple of mornings around September 20th to 22nd show marginal conditions with long-period energy (14-18 seconds) coming from the NNW, but the cross-onshore breeze will put a ripple on it. For a reef break like this, a long-period swell can be amazing if the wind’s right, but it just isn't cooperating. The wave energy gets moderate to strong (305-530) but it’s wasted.
Looking way out to Monday, September 28th, there's a small bump in swell size to 5-5ft from the NNW, with moderate wave energy (578-625), but the wind is stubbornly cross-onshore from the NE at 9 mph. It looks more like a day for the kites than paddling.
So, if you want a wave, your window is Monday morning, September 14th – glassy, clean, and just fun. After that, the wind just doesn't give us a break. It’s a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions.
Stay patient,
Rusty
