The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day run for Las Piscinas is a real tough one. I’m looking at the charts and there’s just nothing good on offer. The whole window is a write-off, I’m afraid. We’ve got surf, sure, but it’s all blown out or straight-up messy.
Starting from Sunday, the 19th of July, right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at a constant onshore wind from the NNE. That’s a cross-on at best, which kills any chance of a clean face. Swell heights hover around 6 ft to 7 ft for the first week, but with a short, weak period of only 7 to 8 seconds, it’s just a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined energy sits in the moderate range (262 to 523), but it’s all wind-slop, not proper groundswell. The water temperature is 73°F, which is about average for the time of year, so you can’t even blame the cold for the lack of enthusiasm.
As we roll into the last week of July and the first few days of August, the swell actually builds a touch. The 27th of July shows a spike in combined energy up to 1700 (strong), with an 8 ft NNE swell, but it’s still onshore wind and the model only rates it as marginal. That’s a big, unruly wave for a reef break in these conditions – really only for the experts, and even then, it’s messy. The wind stays onshore from the NNE or N, never letting up. By the 31st of July, the swell drops back to 4 ft.
The final few days, the 1st and 2nd of August, we see the wind swing to the NNW, but it’s still cross-on and the swell is weak and confused, with a period dropping to 6 seconds. It’s just not worth the paddle out. There are no standout windows, no clean conditions, and no swell that lines up with the optimum N direction. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, because the onshore wind is constant and there’s enough chop to get some air.
To put it bluntly, there’s not a single day in this 16-day outlook that I’d recommend. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s a pretty normal thing when the northerlies lock in. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car and go do something else.
Rusty.
