The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about this stretch for Las Piscinas. Honestly, it’s a bleak picture for the next couple of weeks. Starting from Tuesday, August 11th, we’ve got a long spell of poor conditions that stretches for days. The wind is hammering from the north-northeast at 12 to 16 mph, blowing cross-onshore and turning the ocean into a choppy mess. The swell is short-period, only 6 to 7 seconds, and weak – combined wave energy sits in the moderate range, from 145 to 416. This isn’t for paddling. This setup looks more fun for a kite surfer than a surfer.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
The first hint of something rideable comes on Wednesday morning, August 19th. The wind drops to a light breeze from the north-northeast at 6 mph, with a light cross-onshore ripple. Swell is 4ft from the north with a 9-second period, giving us 238 combined energy – still moderate. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the first crack in the bad weather. Don’t expect perfection.
The standout – and it’s a rough one – hits on Saturday, August 22nd. The swell builds to 7ft to 7ft from the north, period 8-9 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps into the strong range, hitting 593 to 624. That’s serious power. But the wind is onshore from the north at 12-16 mph. This is big, unruly, and for experts only. The reef break will handle that energy, but the chop will ruin any real shape.
Sunday the 23rd keeps the size at 6ft with 575 energy, still onshore. A light marginal call in the morning if you’re very patient.
After that, the swell fades out into the last days of August with smaller, onshore, low-quality surf. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. The best I can say is Wednesday the 19th is your least-worst option for a paddle.
