The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a long stretch of sixteen days on the table, but honestly, for Las Piscinas, it’s a tough start. The first week and a half are looking pretty grim, with no real surf to get excited about. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the conditions are just plain poor.
The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 24°, which is a nice little bonus if you’re just sitting out there, but it won’t make the waves any better.
We’re looking at a gap of about 13 days with no solid recommendations. The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Tuesday, 2nd September. That’s the standout. The wind goes glassy, with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph, and the swell is a solid 6 ft coming from the NNE. The combined energy of all swells is strong at 637, so there’s plenty of push. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but that glassy wind will make it clean. This is a reef break, and it’s consistent, so it’ll be working. Expect good surf conditions. Keep in mind the crowds are often, so you might have some company.
The afternoon of the 2nd stays promising with a clean 6 ft swell and light offshore wind from the N at 3 mph, though the energy bumps up a bit more to 677. It’s a bit bigger, but still manageable for intermediates.
The following days, the 3rd and 4th of September, keep the swell up around 7 ft, with light offshore winds, but the quality is more marginal. The combined energy is very strong, hitting 657 and 731 in the afternoons, so there’s heaps of water moving. That 7 ft mark is getting into the zone where it might be a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s still on.
Overall, if you can wait, the 2nd of September morning is your best bet. It’s the only true standout in the whole window. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty, signing off.
