The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve had a good hard look at the charts for Las Piscinas over the next couple of weeks, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it’s a pretty grim run for this exposed reef. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent paddle surfing. There’s nothing that scores a recommendation. The wind is the main culprit. It’s coming in from the north and northeast for the vast majority of the time, blowing cross-on or straight onshore, which is exactly the wrong direction for this break. That means choppy, lumpy, poor surf conditions pretty much every single day.
The water’s running at 76° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be caring about that when the wind is howling.
There’s a bit of size at times – from the 28th of August through the first week of September, we see swell heights between 5ft and 7ft, with the biggest push around Wednesday the 2nd of September hitting 7ft on the face. The combined swell energy gets up there, too – hitting moderate to strong levels, like 670 on the Saturday the 29th of August and 705 on the Saturday afternoon and again on the Wednesday morning (2nd September). Sounds good, right? Wrong. The period is short – a lot of it around 6-8 seconds, so it’s just windswell, not a clean groundswell. And with the onshore wind, it’s gonna be a washing machine. For a reef setup like this, that’s just not surfable for a paddle board.
When we get past the 6th of September, the swell drops right away. From the 8th to the 10th, it’s barely breaking – 1ft to 2ft – with weak combined swell energy (66 to 146). That’s frustratingly small.
There is a tiny flicker on the 11th of September – the morning shows 5ft from the north with an onshore breeze, and the combined energy jumps to 595, but again, the wind is on it and the period is only 8 seconds. It’s the same story for the 12th. For now, it’s just not worth paddling out. If the wind swings offshore, different story, but that’s not in the cards. Given the persistent strong onshore wind and this reef setup, if you’ve got a kite, this is likely more interesting than a surfboard right now.
A long, blank couple of weeks ahead, I’m afraid. Stay patient.
Rusty.
