The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in from the coast. Let's have a look at what's on the menu over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, look, I'm gonna be straight with you. This is a bit of a tough stretch for Las Piscinas. We've got a solid run of consistent swell, no doubt about that, but the wind is just not our friend for most of it. The entire 16-day window is a bit of a grind, with the first ten days or so lookin' particularly average. We're stuck with a moderate onshore breeze for a lot of the time, which is just gonna chop things up.
We start off on Friday, the 17th of July. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 74°, which is a nice little bonus. There's a small, weak NE swell rollin' in at 4ft, but it's a short period 7-second wind swell, so it's all a bit wonky and the wind is just not helpin' at all. The combined energy is weak (133). It's a pass for me.
We go right through the weekend and into the next week with the same story. The swell builds in size, but the wind keeps it messy. By Monday the 20th, we're seeing 7ft of NE swell, and the energy is picking up (426), but it's still a short period wind swell, and the wind is just on it. This pattern locks in hard. It's not until we hit the 29th of July that we see a small window of opportunity. The morning of the 29th, the swell is a solid 8ft from the NNE, with a combined energy of 1109. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, and the report calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It's the only day that even gets a score of 2 out of 10, so it's the best of a bad bunch. The period is still only 9 seconds, so it's not a proper groundswell, but it's the closest we get to a clean-ish wave. Realistically, lookin' at the chart, it's going to be a sloppy, lumpy affair for the whole 16 days, and this is a reef break, so that's a real shame. For the first week, it's a write-off, and the second week has more size but the same wind issues. The only real highlight is the 29th of July, and even that's a gamble. If you're a kite surfer, this persistent onshore wind and building swell might look like a playground, but for a paddle surfer, it's a tough watch.
Signin' off, Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Las Piscinas may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
