The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got.
Straight up, I've got to be honest with you: the next 16 days are a bit of a struggle for this spot. Las Piscinas is seeing surf, but the wind is just not cooperating. It’s a real shame because there's some decent swell pushing in, but it's getting chopped up by a persistent cross-onshore or onshore breeze. The water temp feels about average for this time of year, nothing crazy.
Right from Tuesday morning the 25th of August, we're looking at a 5ft swell from the north with a period of 10 seconds. That gives us a solid wave energy reading, but the wind is blowing straight onshore at 9 mph, making for poor, bumpy conditions. That pattern pretty much sets the tone. Wednesday the 26th is smaller, around 3ft, with the same onshore muck.
The surf actually starts to build again around the 28th and 29th of August. By Friday morning, we're into 6ft waves from the NNE, and the energy is picking up, but that NNE breeze at 16 mph is cross-onshore, making it choppy. Saturday the 29th morning has a 5ft swell from the NNW with a longer 11-second period – that’s a nice groundswell pulse, and the wave energy is strong. If the wind was offshore, this would be a standout, but with that 12 mph cross-onshore wind, it's messy. Las Piscinas is a reef break, so sometimes with longer period swell like that, the waves can wall up, but the wind is the killer here. Crowds are likely, but honestly, not many will be out in these conditions.
We roll into September with the swell hanging in there. The 2nd of September morning has a solid 7ft swell from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds and strong energy. That’s getting a bit hefty for the average punter, and the wind is still onshore. The same story continues right through to the 9th of September, with waves fluctuating between 4ft and 7ft, and energy levels staying high. But that wind – it's either on or cross-onshore the whole way. There's no clean window of offshore or glassy conditions in this entire forecast. When the swell hits over 8ft, it’s only for experts, but we don't quite get there. With the constant onshore wind and a beach setup (well, it's a reef, but with these winds), this honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
To sum it up: there's swell, plenty of it at times, but the wind has it wrecked from start to finish. There are no true standouts with clean conditions in this 16-day window.
Rusty.
