The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

Right, straight up – we’ve got a long stretch ahead with not much to get excited about. The only spot on the menu is Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef break that’s consistent and exposed, with an optimum swell from the NNW. But the wind is going to be a real problem for the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at a warm 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real opportunity doesn’t come until late in the window. For the first week and a half, from Monday, August 3rd right through to the middle of the month, it’s a write-off. The wind is coming from the north and north-northeast at 15-18 mph, mostly cross-onshore, keeping the surf choppy and messy. Swell heights are small, between 3ft and 5ft, with short period energy around 6-8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak to moderate (144-386). The wave comment reads “poor surf conditions” across the board, and the scores are nil. It’s not worth paddling out for this.

We do see a slight change around the 12th of August, with the wind dropping to 9-12 mph, but it’s still cross-onshore and the swell remains small and weak. Still a no-go.

The standout window, and the only one worth marking on your calendar, shows up on the 18th of August – a Tuesday. The morning looks the best of the bunch. The swell holds at 6ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 517. The wind is cross-shore out of the north-northeast at 15 mph, which is better than the usual cross-onshore we’ve been dealing with. This will be the cleanest we’ll see it. That 6ft is still manageable for most intermediate surfers, but it’s getting towards the top end for beginners. The afternoon sees the wind pick up to 18 mph and turn cross-onshore again, so the morning session is the one to chase.

The afternoon of the 16th of August also has offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph, but the swell is a smaller 5ft and the combined energy is lower at 234. It’s a solid option, but not as punchy as the 18th.

So, the best on offer is Tuesday morning, August 18th at Derecha de los Alemanes. The wind will be cross-shore, making it cleaner than anything else we’ve seen. The swell is a solid 6ft from the north, which is close to the optimum NNW direction. It’s not a perfect day by any stretch, but in this quiet forecast, it’s the one to aim for. The rest of the period is a long, frustrating wait.

Rusty out.
