The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next ten days or so are a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with the wind messing things up and the swell not really lining up. Don’t bother getting too excited until we get into the second week of September.
The first real glimmer of hope, and I mean the only standout in this whole 16-day window, is shaping up for Wednesday, September 9th. The morning session at Las Piscinas is where it’s at. We’re expecting a solid 8ft of swell pumping in from the NNE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a hefty 1048, so there’s plenty of power behind it. But the real kicker is the wind: it’s going to be glassy. Dead flat. That’s going to make for some absolutely clean, tidy waves. This is a reef break, so it’s best suited for experienced surfers – that size is over 8ft, so it's expert territory. For the right crew, this is the session to circle on the calendar. The water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Before that, we’ve got a long gap of nothing but poor surf. The wind is mostly a cross-on or onshore breeze from the north, chopping everything up. The swell is small and weak, with a short period, never really getting above moderate energy. On Tuesday, September 8th, the morning shows a glimmer of improvement with a 5ft swell and a light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s still only rated as marginal. The tide might be a factor, so it’s not something to hang your hat on.
After the clear winner on the 9th, the conditions drop back down. The afternoon of the 9th gets a cross-on breeze, and the following days are all marginal again. The swell sticks around at 5ft to 6ft from the north, but the wind remains a problem, keeping things choppy. It’s frustrating, but that’s the way it looks.
So, to sum it up: the waiting game is on. Don’t waste your time for the first week and a half, but be ready for that Wednesday morning, September 9th. It’s the only real deal in this forecast.
Rusty.
