The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Las Piscinas.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this 16-day window is a tough one. The surf is there, but the conditions are a real battle. We’re looking at a solid run of swell from the NNE, but the wind is the problem. Throughout the whole forecast, we’ve got a persistent moderate breeze blowing from the north, putting us in a constant onshore or cross-onshore situation. That’s making for poor surf conditions across the board. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t kick in until we get towards the second week. From Saturday the 15th of August onwards, the swell starts to build. The stand-out moment is going to be the morning of Saturday the 15th. Swell is pushing 7ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 543. That’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the whole period, but it’s still coming with a moderate onshore breeze, so it’s going to be messy. If you’re an expert and you just need to get wet, you could probably find a few lumpy ones, but it’s not going to be pretty.
The week after that, from the 19th of August, the swell drops back a bit. The period does stretch out to 9 seconds into the 21st and 22nd, which is a longer period groundswell, meaning better shaped waves and more energy per wave. The morning of Friday the 21st shows a 5ft swell from the north with a 9-second period and a gentle breeze, combined energy sitting at 387. That’s probably the best-looking window for a cleaner, more lined-up wave, but the wind is still onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. By the 22nd and 23rd, the wind turns cross-onshore, making it choppy again.
Honestly, if you’re a paddle surfer, this is a rough stretch. The setup is a reef break, but with the wind howling onshore and these mid-range swells, it’s going to be a battle. The whole period is a bit of a write-off for quality surfing. If you’ve got a kite, this might be more your scene, because there’s definitely energy for a pull, but for a clean surf session, you’re looking at a long wait.
Rusty, signing off.
