The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Derecha de los Alemanes is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf quality ahead, and the first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t arrive until Saturday the 1st of August, and even then it’s marginal.
The overall pattern is dominated by persistent cross-onshore winds from the north and north-northeast, keeping things choppy and lumpy for the majority of the outlook. The swell is small to moderate, but the wind is the real killer here.
We kick off with nothing for Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July. The swell is around 4ft, but it’s coming from the north with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 15 to 19 mph. The combined wave energy is weak (163) and the report says “poor surf conditions” – it’s a definite no-go.
The first slight glimmer comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The wind swings to the northwest and goes offshore, blowing at 9 mph in the morning. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the northwest with a period of 10 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to a moderate 192. It’s not big, but with that offshore wind, it could be clean and workable for a beginner or longboarder. The break is a reef, so it’ll handle that northwest swell direction well. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook, but be prepared for a small, slow day. Crowds are possible here.
After that brief window, from Sunday the 2nd of August, we’re right back into the choppy stuff. The wind goes back to a cross-onshore from the north, and the swell drops back to a weak, short-period mess. This pattern of poor conditions with moderate cross-onshore breezes and combined energy between 100 and 179 continues day after day, right through to Sunday the 10th of August.
There is a bit of a spike in swell size from Tuesday the 11th of August onwards. The swell height climbs to 5ft, then 6ft, and the combined energy hits a strong 302 on Wednesday the 12th. But the wind is still a friggin’ cross-onshore from the north, blowing at 15 to 22 mph. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it’s just a messy, lumpy, poor-quality wave. The size means it’s getting too big for beginners, but the conditions are so junk it’s barely worth a look for anyone. The energy is there (302), but the quality is not.
Honestly, this is a blank run of surf. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Saturday the 1st of August sunrise session with the offshore breeze is your only real shot. For the rest of it, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent onshore wind and building swell.
Rusty.
