The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the coming stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead with very little to get excited about. The first few days are a write-off, and the pattern doesn't really improve. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf on offer, and it’s going to be a grind.
We start off on Friday, August 28th, with absolutely nothing going on. The swell is weak and messy, with a cross-onshore wind all day. It’s junk. Saturday the 29th isn’t any better, still cross-on and choppy. Sunday the 30th, same story. We’re looking at a solid block of poor conditions right through the first week of September. The swell direction is mostly from the NNE, but the wind is just never right. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special there.
The only glimmer in this whole 16-day window comes on Saturday, September 5th. The morning at Las Piscinas shows a slight improvement. We’ve got clean skies, a light breeze from the NNW, and the swell is a modest 4 ft from the N with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 253, but the wave comment says it’s marginal, with questionable tide conditions. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’ll be a damn sight better than the rest of the week. It’s a reef break, consistent, and it’s intermediate-level. Just keep in mind that crowds are often a problem here, so don’t expect a quiet session.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Sunday the 6th sees the swell drop to 2 ft and the period goes long, but it’s mostly onshore wind again. The energy is weak. The rest of the second week is a slow fade to nothing. By Thursday the 10th, the swell is just 2 ft and the energy is down to 71. It’s flat. If you’re a kite surfer, the cross-on breezes and moderate swell might look interesting, but for paddle surfing, this is a long, blank run. It’s a normal pattern for the area – when it’s quiet, it stays quiet.
Hold tight, check back, maybe the forecasts will change.
Rusty.
