The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you, it's looking pretty grim for a paddle. The whole 16-day window is a long stretch of poor surf conditions. We're not talking about a few days of flatness; this is a full-on blank run. From now through to the 19th of September, there's not a single decent session to be had.
The only spot on the radar is Las Piscinas, which is a consistent reef break for intermediates. But even so, the numbers just don't stack up. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's not a letdown.
The wind is the main culprit. It's hammering onshore from the North and North-North-East for most of the period, with speeds between 9 and 16 mph, turning the ocean into a mess. The swell is small and weak, with wave energy barely cracking 100 (97) early on, and even when it picks up to moderate levels later, the actual wave height is only around 3 ft to 5 ft with a short, weak period of 5 to 7 seconds. It's just not offering any shape or power.
There are a couple of days where the swell period jumps up to 12 to 15 seconds on the 11th and 16th of September, which gives a bit more energy (373 and 467). But the swell is tiny – 3 ft and 3 ft – so the long period just means long waits for a small, weak wave. And the wind is still onshore, ruining it. Even a 5 ft swell on the 17th of September, with a period of 8 seconds, is still blown out by the onshore breeze.
Frankly, for a surfer, there's nothing to get out of bed for. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent onshore wind and small, choppy swell. It's a tough run, but sometimes that's just how it goes in this area. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a solid no-go.
Rusty.

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.
