The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next 16 days, it’s a tough stretch for the paddle crew. Persistent onshore wind keeps the ocean messy, and the good windows are tiny. There’s one day that stands out, but it’s not a classic.
The first real chance is Sunday September 13th. Swell from the NNW at 4 ft, with a light NE wind at 3 mph – just a light cross-shore with little ripples. It’s still marginal, but it’s the cleanest you’ll see. The break is Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef. The swell energy is moderate (223), and with a period of 8 seconds, it’s average. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 75°. The crowds are “sometimes”, so you might have a few others out.
Then it’s back to poor conditions. Monday September 14th morning sees a better 13-second period from the NNW, with 3 ft waves and light cross-shore wind (NNE 3 mph). The energy is moderate (318), and that longer period means better shape, but the waves are small. That’s about the best of the first week.
The second week is mostly dead. Tuesday September 15th through Thursday September 17th is all poor, with cross-onshore winds 12 to 19 mph, waves 2 ft to 4 ft, short weak periods. Energy drops into the low 100s. Saturday September 19th morning has 3 ft from the N with a 6 mph cross-on wind, but it’s still rippled.
By Monday September 21st and Tuesday September 22nd, the swell drops to 1 ft to 2 ft, with periods 10 to 11 seconds. The combined energy is below 100 (97, 89, 87) – that’s weak energy. Wind goes light cross-shore on Tuesday, but there’s nothing to ride. If you’re set on getting out, Sunday the 13th morning is the pick, but it’s a one-star day. Honestly, this stretch is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period.
Rusty.
