The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Las Piscinas over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. We're looking at a solid 14 days or so where the surf is just not doing us any favours. The wind is relentless, blowing from the north and north-northeast, right onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of everything. The swell is mostly short-period windswell, around 7 seconds, which just doesn't have the shape or the punch for a good ride. The combined wave energy is moderate, bouncing between the 200s and 400s, but it's all junk.
This stretch from Thursday, August 6th, all the way through to Wednesday, August 19th, is a write-off. The forecast keeps saying "poor surf conditions" and that's exactly what it is. The water temperature is sitting at 73.9°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you can't even blame the cold for the lack of quality.
Now, there is a little glimmer of hope way out there. On Thursday, August 20th, we finally see a shift. The wind dies down to a gentle breeze from the north, and the swell starts to mature, with a period bumping up to 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 486, and the swell is 5.6 ft from the north. The wind is forecast as onshore, but with that lighter breeze, it might just be surfable, especially for a bigger board. Right now, that Thursday morning on the 20th looks like the best bet in the whole 16-day window, but it's a long way off, so treat it as a promising whisper, not a guarantee. The Thursday afternoon on the 21st also looks similar, with 5.9 ft of north-northeast swell and a decent energy reading of 418.
For a reef break like Las Piscinas, that north swell is coming from a good direction, but with the wind never truly going offshore, it's gonna be a battle. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, but it's all wind-affected. Honestly, with the wind and the junky conditions, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the vast majority of the forecast.
