The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window for Derecha de los Alemanes, it’s a tough run. The water is sitting at 74°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only upside. The wind is the real killer here. We’ve got a persistent cross-onshore flow from the north-northeast that just won’t let up, and that’s ruining any chance of clean waves.
The first few days—Thursday the 30th through the weekend—are a write-off. The swell is small, around 3ft to 4ft from the north, with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (161) but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. Friday morning on the 31st actually shows a clean window with an offshore cross-off breeze from the east-northeast and a 3ft north swell, but the score is still a zero. It’s just not holding together.
We go through the first week of August with nothing changing. The wind stays relentless from the north-northeast at 12 to 19 mph, and the swell remains weak and short-period. There’s a blip on Saturday the 1st with a northwest swell and a light offshore wind, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s barely surfable.
Deep into the second week, around Monday the 10th of August, the swell actually starts to pick up. We’re seeing 5ft from the north with a slightly better period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 325. But again, the wind is still cross-onshore from the north. The waves will have some push, but they’ll be a mess. By Wednesday the 12th, the swell builds to 6ft from the north with energy climbing to 387, and it stays that way through the 13th and 14th, peaking at 477 energy. That’s a lot of water moving. But the wind remains a solid cross-onshore at 16 to 19 mph. It’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and hard to enjoy. At 6ft, this is getting into expert-only territory, and with the onshore wind, it’s going to be a battle.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is the Friday morning of the 31st of July. That’s your one shot at something clean. The wind is offshore, the swell is small but rideable. Get in early if you’re desperate. Otherwise, this whole stretch is a frustrating one. For a reef break like Derecha de los Alemanes, it’s a shame because the potential is there. The wind just won’t play ball. If you’re into kiting, this constant cross-onshore wind and building swell from the 10th onwards might look more interesting than it does for a paddle surfer.
