The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s cooking at Las Piscinas.
Right now, it’s looking pretty bleak for the next week and a half. We’ve got a long stretch of northerly winds that are just messing things up, even when there’s a little swell in the water. The wave energy is either too weak or it’s coming in with a short, choppy period that’s just not going to give you anything worth paddling out for.
The only real standout, the one window where everything aligns, is Monday, September 14th in the morning. The wind is gonna go light easterly, turning the surface to glass. That’s the good stuff. You’ll have a little 4ft swell coming from the north-northeast, and the water will be clean as a whistle. It’s not a big day, but it’s your only chance for a proper, fun session on the reef. The wave energy is moderate (253). After that, the breeze swings back onshore and it’s gone.
From there, we’re looking at a rough run. Around the 17th and 18th, the swell builds up to well over 6ft, with some serious energy readings (up to 905 on Friday the 18th). But the wind is ripping onshore from the north, turning that powerful swell into a complete mess. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one.
Later, around the 20th and 21st, the wind lightens up a bit, but the swell drops to a tiny 3ft. You’ll get some rideable, though marginal, waves. Then on the 22nd, we get a long-period groundswell (15 seconds) from the north-northwest, which is a classic signal for this reef. The energy is strong (590), but it’s arriving with a bumpy cross-onshore wind, chopping up the surface.
The last week of September just fades out with weak swell and persistent wind. It’s a long, quiet spell for this spot.
So, to keep it simple: Monday morning, September 14th is your one true standout for clean, glassy conditions. The rest of the forecast is mostly a waiting game for the wind to sort itself out.
