The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've had a bloody good look at what's on the table for Las Piscinas over the next 16 days. Straight up, I've got to be honest with you, the outlook is a tough one. Every single session in the forecast is flagged as having poor surf conditions, so there's not a single standout recommendation to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than what's normal for this time of year.
From Saturday the 29th of August, right through to Sunday the 13th of September, it's a consistent run of poor surf. The swell kicks off on Saturday morning with a 5ft swell from the NNW, but it's a cross-on wind from the NE at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 665, but it's just not translating into any quality. The swell period is 11 seconds, which is a decent groundswell, but with that wind, it's a write-off.
We see a bit of a bump in swell energy around Tuesday the 2nd of September, with the swell hitting 7ft from the NNE, and combined energy jumping to 635. The wind is onshore from the N at 16 mph, which is still not clean. For a reef break like Las Piscinas, which is consistent and exposed to the north, the optimum swell direction is from the N, but the wind is just ruining it. Periods are short, around 7-8 seconds, so it's weak and messy.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is more of the same – small swells, mostly 3ft to 6ft, with periods dropping to 6-7 seconds by the 6th of September. The wind is predominantly onshore or cross-on, with a gentle to moderate breeze. The combined energy drops right down to around 150-200, which is very weak energy.
There's a slight uptick around the 12th and 13th of September, with the swell hitting 6ft and 5ft, and periods climbing back to 7-9 seconds. The wind is still cross-on or onshore, though, so the conditions remain poor. The combined energy on the 12th is back up to 424, a moderate energy, but it's not enough to save the day.
Honestly, there's nothing here that's worth paddling out for. The reef at Las Piscinas is known for being consistent, but this run of poor conditions is a real blank. Given the onshore winds and short period swells, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep an eye on the forecast, things can change, but for now, I'd leave the boards in the shed.
Rusty.
