The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have an honest look at what’s on the cards for Derecha de los Alemanes over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up – there’s nothing good in this outlook. Not one session worth getting excited about. The entire 16‑day window from now through to 31 July is a washout for surf. The break itself is a consistent reef, and the water’s a touch warmer than normal at 74°F – a nice 3°F above average for this time of year. But that’s about the only bright spot.
The trouble is the wind. Every single session has a cross‑onshore breeze, mostly from the north or north‑northeast, and it’s blowing fresh most days – 15 to 19 mph. That’s turning what could be a fun little reef into a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell direction never lines up with the optimum NNW either; we’re seeing mostly north pulses with periods of 6 to 9 seconds, so short‑period, weak‑ish energy. The combined swell energy creeps up through the first week, hitting 392 on the 23rd morning and climbing to over 700 on the 26th, but with that wind, it’s all just big and ugly.
Heights build from 1ft right up to 7ft by the 25th and 26th. Once it gets over 5ft, that’s too much chop for beginners, and by the time it hits 7ft, you’d need to be an expert just to handle the messy conditions – and even then, it’s not worth it. The forecast says “poor surf conditions” all the way, and I’m not one to argue with that.
Bottom line: if you’re hanging out for a wave at Los‑Alemanes, you’re going to be disappointed for the whole 16 days. Sometimes these blank runs happen – the exposed setup just isn’t catching a break this time. Keep an eye on the longer range, but for now, save your energy or go find something else to do.
Stay salty,
Rusty
