The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the next 16 days for Las Piscinas.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a real tough one. We're looking at a solid two-week run of basically no surf worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, which is fine, but that's about the only good news. A lot of the time the wind is howling from the north or north-northeast, and that's exactly the wrong direction for this spot. It's a reef break that's wide open to the swell, but the wind is just ruining things.
The first real chance, and I'm using that word loosely, pops up on Tuesday, September 8th. The morning has a little pulse of energy sneaking in with a 6 ft swell from the north-northeast. The combined energy is moderate (435), and it's a clean 8-second period, so not much juice. The wind shifts light from the northeast, which is a slight cross-offshore – that's the best we get. It's a bit of a marginal window, but it's the only thing on the entire forecast that's even close to a surfable state. The rest of the time is just poor surf, with the wind either onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things.
Don't get your hopes up. The swell is small and the wind is a nightmare. For a spot that's usually consistent, this is a bad run. For the next 13 days, we're looking at a total blank. It's a write-off, plain and simple. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you're into that.
Rusty.
