The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Las Piscinas has cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, this is a tough run for this reef break. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but honestly, most of it is a write-off for quality paddle surfing. The problem is persistent onshore to cross-onshore wind. It’s just relentless, and it’s ruining any potential the swell has. For the first week or more, we're stuck in a pattern of choppy, poor surf conditions. The swell is coming from the NNE most of the time, which is just hammering this spot with cruddy wind. You’re looking at a lot of days where the waves are there, but the wind's howling at 12 to 16 mph from the wrong angle. The wave energy is moderate, in the 200-500 range, but it doesn’t matter much when it's all blown out.

There is a small glimmer of something different late in the forecast. On Monday, September 14th, we see a shift. The swell direction swings to the NNW with a much longer period of 11 to 13 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The problem is the size is tiny, only 3 ft. The energy is moderate (340 and 312). But the wind is light and cross-offshore things might actually have a clean-ish face. It’s still listed as poor surf, so the quality is questionable, but this is the only time the waves will look vaguely surfable with that longer-period shape.

The standout? There isn't a true standout. If you had to go out, you'd pick that Monday, September 14th morning, but keep your expectations very low—it's a wind-swell-sized groundswell. Don't bring a log; you’ll want a fish or a groveler.

The water temp is 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice bonus if you do go for a paddle or just a swim.

Look, the rest of the run is grim. Too much wind, too much chop. The setups here are just not aligning. The odd bit on the 15th and 16th pops up with some longer-period swell (up to 16 seconds!), but again the size is knee-high and the wind is cross-onshore. Truth is, with this wind regime, this stretch is way more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, leave the boards in the car.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Las Piscinas may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
