The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wax, ’cause Rusty’s here to break it down. It’s a tricky stretch for Las Piscinas – most of the next sixteen days are a write-off. Starting Monday, 27 July, we’re stuck with "poor surf conditions" for a solid run. Wave heights are between 3 ft and 6 ft, but the swell period is short – 6 to 8 seconds – so it’s going to be weak and disorganized. The wind is blowing onshore or cross-onshore from the N or NNE at 9 to 12 mph, keeping things choppy and ugly. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, topping out at 344 early on but mostly dropping into the 100s and 200s. It’s a dry spell of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for.
But here’s a glimmer. On Sunday, 9 August, the swell hits 7 ft from the NNE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 647 (moderate). The wind is light and onshore from the NNE at 6 mph, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises. Las Piscinas is a consistent reef, which is good for handling that size, but at 7 ft, it’s for intermediate to advanced surfers. The optimum swell direction is N, and we’re getting NNE, so it’s close but not spot-on. The wave comment says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so be cautious. Crowds are often here, so expect some company. Monday, 10 August, is a bit bigger at 8 ft, but the wind cranks up to 16 mph onshore – that’s a fresh breeze, and for a reef, that’s gonna be a mess. That 8 ft is solidly expert-only with that wind.
If I’m picking one standout, it’s the morning of Sunday, 9 August. The swell is pumping, the energy is decent, and that light wind might give you a clean-ish window. It’s the best on offer, but it’s a long shot.
Rusty.
