The Lowdown
Alright, paddlers. Rusty here.
First thing you need to know: the water is at 73°F, which is dead average for this time of year – nothing strange.
Looking at the full 16-day picture for Las Piscinas, it’s a bummer of a stretch. The forecast keeps calling it “poor surf conditions” right from the get-go. The swell is coming from the NNE, but it’s a weak 4ft to 4ft with a short period of just 6 seconds. The wind is mostly onshore or side-onshore, and the combined energy is puny, in the 120s to 130s (139). The 2nd of August offers nothing.
This poor run sticks around through the 3rd and 4th, with the swell staying around 5ft to 5ft but the period barely hitting 7 seconds. The wind keeps blowing side-onshore, making it a bumpy mess. The energy is still low, in the 200s (237). It’s a real dry spell.
We get a bit more push on the 5th, with the swell hitting 6ft by Wednesday morning, but the period is still only 7 seconds and the wind is onshore. The energy is picking up (302), but it’s not doing us any favors. This pattern of average-sized but messy, onshore swell continues all the way through the second week.
The period finally stretches out a bit around the 8th, hitting 9 seconds on Saturday morning, and the combined energy climbs to 462. But the wind is a solid 12 mph from the north, blowing straight onshore. It’s a real tease.
Even by the 16th and 17th of August, when the swell drops back to 3ft to 5ft and the period looks better at 9 seconds, the wind is still onshore. The energy is moderate (398), but the wind is just ruining any chance of a clean wave.
There is no standout session here. The setup looks like it’s made for a kite surfer, not a paddle surfer, with that persistent onshore wind and building swell. The consistent onshore wind and short period chop won’t let Las Piscinas clean up. It’s a blank run for the area, but forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope.
Rusty.
