The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for this stretch. I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a grind for Las Piscinas. We're looking at a solid run of persistent wind from the NNE, which is blowing straight onshore for most of it. That's gonna keep things chopped up and messy.
The swell is there, don't get me wrong. We start off on Thursday the 23rd of July with a 6ft NNE swell, and it builds. By Saturday the 25th, we've got a 8ft swell coming in with a moderate combined energy of 735 (moderate wave energy), but that 30 km/h wind is just ruining it. The water's sitting at 73°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
This pattern just keeps on going. The swell sticks around through the end of July, with heights around 5ft to 8ft, but the wind is relentless. It's not until the 1st of August that the wind drops back to a gentle breeze, but it's still cross-onshore, so the quality is still poor. The energy drops off into the low hundreds by the 7th of August, with a tiny 1ft to 2ft swell.
There is not a single standout session in this whole outlook. The best we get is a "marginal" call on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, with a 7ft NNE swell, gentle cross-onshore wind, and a combined energy of 588 (moderate wave energy), but it's still not clean. For a reef break that's consistent, seeing this much wind is a real shame. Honestly, with the wind howling onshore and the swell being a bit of a lumpy mess, this setup might be more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle-surfers. It's a long blank run, so don't hold your breath.
