Table - best surf conditions forecast for Las Piscinas over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Las Piscinas are a write-off for decent surfing. The sixteen-day window is basically a long, flat stretch of poor surf conditions, so you’re looking at a gap of at least a few days before anything even slightly interesting pops up, and even then, it’s not good.
Starting from Friday 10 July through the weekend, it’s tiny. We’re talking knee-high slop at 2 to 3 feet from the NNE, with a rotten 5-second period and weak energy. The wind is onshore from the N or NNW at 10 to 12 mph, so it’s messy. Not worth paddling out.
Into the middle of next week, Monday 13 July through Wednesday 15 July, the swell is still small – 2 to 4 feet – and the period is short, maxing out at 9 seconds. The energy is a bit more moderate, but the wind is cross-onshore from the NE or NNE, so it’s choppy and rippled. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Thursday 16 July to Sunday 19 July, the swell starts to build a bit. Heights get up to 7 feet from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate-to-strong energy. That sounds better, but it’s still all onshore wind from the N or NNE at 15 mph, meaning the surf is blown out and poor. The reef at Las Piscinas is exposed, but with this wind, it’ll be a washing machine. For a reef break, that’s a shame.
Then from Monday 20 July all the way through to Saturday 25 July, the swell actually gets gnarly – 5 to 10 feet from the NNE, with periods hitting 9 seconds and the energy going through the roof. That’s a serious amount of power. But the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore from the N or NNE at 10 to 19 mph, so the quality is still poor. At 8 to 10 feet, this is only for experts, and even then, the onshore wind will make it a battle. The 9-second period is moderate, but with a north wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Truth is, there’s no standout here. The best on offer might be the morning of Sunday 12 July, when the swell is 4 feet from the NNW with a 10-second period and moderate energy, and the wind is a gentle onshore breeze from the N. It’s still not clean, but it’s the closest we get to a window. Even then, it’s poor. For the rest of the forecast, you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days – it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a solid blank run.
Rusty.
