The Lowdown
Alright, let me give it to you straight for Derecha de los Alemanes over the next 16 days. There’s nothing good. I mean it – zero. Every single session from Thursday July 23 through Friday August 7 is marked as “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero. Not a single one to get excited about.
This spot is a consistent reef, beginner-friendly, exposed to the north-northwest swell window. That’s what it wants: NNW swell. But what’s coming? North and north-northeast windswell, short period at 7–8 seconds. The wind is cross-on from the north-northeast or north, blowing 12–22 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. No offshore, no glass – just onshore wind messing up the surface. The combined energy numbers are moderate, sometimes pushing into the 200–500 range, but with the wrong direction and wind, it’s all wasted.
First few days have the biggest waves – 5 ft to 6 ft – but with a fresh breeze turning it into a washing machine. By late July into early August, the swell drops under 3 ft, and the wind stays cross-on or cross-shore. On August 2 there’s a brief moment of onshore wind with a light breeze, but the swell is only 2 ft from the northwest – better direction but too small and weak. Combined energy on that day is around 138–174, still moderate, but still says “poor surf conditions.”
So the whole 16-day window is a blank. This break is consistent, so usually it doesn’t stay this quiet for long – forecasts can change. But right now, don’t bother. If you really want to get wet, the cross-on wind might be more fun for kiteboarding, but for surfing, it’s a hard pass.
