The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Las Piscinas area over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ll be honest with you: this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions that runs right through until the middle of the month. From Monday the 7th of September right through to Saturday the 13th, it’s pretty much a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is a short, weak 7-second NNE windswell hanging around 4ft to 6ft. The combined energy sits in the moderate range, but with that constant chop and bump, it’s just not worth paddling out. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you sit there watching crumble.
Now, there is a very brief flicker of hope on the morning of Sunday the 13th. We get a marginal window with a light cross-onshore, but the swell is still small and weak. It’s a “maybe if you’re desperate” kind of morning.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout in this whole 16-day window, is the morning of Monday the 14th of September. This is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a clean, glassy-looking morning with a light SE cross-offshore breeze. The swell switches to a long-period 13-second NNW groundswell, even if it’s only 2ft. The combined energy is moderate. For a reef break like Las Piscinas, that long period is key – it’ll wrap in nicely and offer some proper shape, even if the size is small. This is the session to aim for. The water temperature is still normal, and if you’re early, you might beat the crowds that can show up there.
Unfortunately, that window slams shut by the afternoon. The wind swings onshore again, and we’re back to the same old story of poor surf for the rest of the week. By the 18th, the swell picks back up to 6ft with a short period, but it’s all onshore junk. For the second week, the pattern stays the same: onshore winds, short-period swell, and poor surf. There’s nothing to get excited about.
So, bottom line: if you want a wave, your only real play is the morning of Monday the 14th. It’s small, but it’ll be clean. Otherwise, save your energy and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
