The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Las Piscinas.
Honestly, crew, I’m looking at a pretty grim 16-day window. There’s not a single session that gets the green light. The surf is on offer, but it’s all poor quality. The winds are hammering it from the north and northeast, blowing straight onshore nearly every day, with a few afternoons going cross-onshore and choppy. That’s a recipe for a messy, blown-out mess.
The first real chance of anything comes right at the start, but it’s a no-go. Saturday morning, August 1st, we’ve got 4 ft from the NNE at a weak 7 seconds, combined energy of 180 (weak), but the wind is on it. That’s the story for the whole first week. The swell builds a bit around the 12th to the 14th, hitting 7 ft on Friday the 14th with a period of 8 seconds and energy climbing to 570 (moderate), but the wind is still straight onshore at 12 mph. It’s a bigger, more powerful lump, but it’s a lump with no shape.
Even when the swell gets up to 7 ft on the 13th, that’s intermediate-level size, but with the onshore wind, it’s just a washing machine. For the experts, there’s a pulse on the 14th with 7 ft, but the quality is still poor. There’s nothing here for beginners, and nothing that’s clean enough for anyone to get excited about. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
This is a blank run. With no wind protection and a consistent onshore pattern, it’s typical for this area to have long stretches like this. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but this forecast is a solid bust. If you’re a kiter, maybe the setup looks interesting with the consistent wind, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
