The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is one long, quiet groan. There's not a single moment where the conditions come together to make it worth paddling out. We're looking at a solid two-week gap with no decent surf on offer.
The only break on the radar is Las Piscinas, a consistent reef setup that's exposed to the north. The water temp is sitting at about 73.9°, which is normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing if you just want a splash.
The problem is the wind. It's almost constantly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing from the north or northeast at 9 to 16 mph. That's going to make a mess of any wave that tries to stand up. The swell is tiny, mostly around 3.3 ft to 4.9 ft, and coming from the NNE with a short, weak period of 6 to 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, so there's just no punch.
There's a slight uptick around the 11th and 12th of August, where the swell bumps up to about 6.2 ft to 6.6 ft from the NNE, with the period stretching to 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps into the moderate range. That's the biggest surf we'll see, but it's still onshore wind. Those waves will be closing out, blown out, and honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's too big for beginners at that point, but the wind kills it for anyone.
So, the honest truth: keep your board in the car for a different day. There's nothing here worth chasing.
