The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you about the surf outlook for Las Piscinas. It’s a reef break, set up for intermediate surfers, and it’s consistent, but man, this forecast is a tough one to read.
The overall pattern is grim. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor conditions that stretches for the better part of two weeks. The wind is the main culprit here, hammering the spot from the north-northeast almost non-stop, directly onshore, which just ruins the surface. We’re talking about wind speeds in the 12 to 19 mph range nearly every day, creating choppy, lumpy, unsurfable conditions.
We’ve got a solid run of no recommendations from the start on Saturday the 25th of July, all the way through to the end of July. The swell is there, but it’s a messy, short-period wind swell, mostly around 4ft to 8ft, but with that brutal onshore wind, it’s just a wall of whitewater. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s one thing you don’t have to worry about.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t appear until Saturday the 1st of August, and it’s a very faint glimmer. The morning sees a slight drop in wind to 6 mph from the north, and the swell drops to 4ft. The combined energy is moderate at 224, but the forecast is still calling it marginal due to questionable tide. It’s not a stand-out, but it’s the first time the wind isn’t absolutely howling.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning is our best shot. The wind drops to a near-calm 3 mph from the north-northeast, going light cross-onshore, which is the cleanest it will be all period. The swell is 4ft from the north-northeast with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 208. This is the only window where you might find a few grovelly, workable waves, and it’s the closest thing to a standout we have.
After that, it’s straight back to the onshore winds. The swell actually picks up a bit around the 5th and 6th of August, hitting 7ft, but the wind comes right back with it. At 7ft, it’s getting too big for beginners, and with the stormy onshore wind, it’s just a messy, powerful closeout for experts only. The combined energy for the 6th of August hits 719, which is a lot of power, but it’s all going to waste. At that point, with the significant swell, poor quality, and strong wind over a reef, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The forecast ends on the 9th of August with the same story: onshore wind and a messy 6ft swell. It’s a heartbreaking run for such a consistent spot, but it does happen. Don’t lose hope; forecasts can change, and it won’t stay poor forever.
