The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Derecha de los Alemanes. Straight up, this is a tough one – the forecast is pretty much a write-off for decent paddle surfing. There’s not a single session with a green light, so this is a blank run that stretches right through until the end of July. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
The whole pattern is dominated by a persistent wind from the north and northeast, blowing mid- to fresh-strength, which keeps the surface chopped up and lumpy. The swell is there, but it’s junk. For the first week, from Tuesday 14 July through to Sunday 19 July, you’re looking at weak knee-high slop, with the combined wave energy mostly under 160 (moderate energy). The swell direction is a mess, coming from NNW, N, and even WNW, with short periods around 6 to 9 seconds – no power or shape.
There’s a bit more size in the second week, but the quality doesn’t improve. By Monday 21 July, the swell picks up to around 4 ft from the north, and the energy gets into the 200–250 range (moderate), but it’s still cross-onshore and lumpy. From Thursday 23 July onward, the swell hangs around 5 ft to 5 ft, and by the 26th and 27th of July, it’s pushing 5 ft to 6 ft from the north, with energy hitting over 500 (strong). That’s a decent amount of north swell, but with the wind howling onshore, it’s just messy, blown-out waves. The period stays short, between 7 and 8 seconds, so it’s all wind-slop.
Given the consistent onshore wind and the beach-and-reef setup, this looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s plenty of wind and swell, but nothing for a surfer to get excited about. It’s a normal blank run for this area when the trade winds lock in.
Rusty.
