The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks at our local spot, Derecha de los Alemanes, is a tough one. We’ve got a long, frustrating run of poor conditions ahead, so let’s break down what little we have to work with.
The water here is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re sitting there waiting.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Wednesday, 16th September. The morning session that day is the only one in the whole 16-day period that gets close to being rideable. Swell is small at 2ft from the N, with a short period of 7 seconds, so don’t expect any grunt. The combined energy is weak at just 99. But here’s the kicker – we get a light ESE cross-offshore breeze, which will clean it right up. The break will be tidy, and that’s a rare treat given the forecast. For a beginner-friendly reef break, those clean little waves will be fun for a session. The crowds are only *sometimes* an issue, so you might have it pretty quiet.
Now, for the rest of the run... it’s mostly a write-off. From Monday 7th right through to the morning of the 16th, we’ve got a solid 8-day stretch of cross-onshore winds, chop, and generally messy surf. The swell tries to bump up a bit – we see 5ft from the N on the morning of Saturday the 12th, with moderate energy of 442, but the NNE wind at 16 mph is just ruining it. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
After that Wednesday morning window, it goes straight back to poor. We do get another shot on the morning of Sunday, 20th September. That morning brings a clean, light ENE cross-offshore wind again, with 5ft swell from the N. The period is short at 7 seconds, and energy is moderate at 201. It’s still not a standout, but for a spot that’s been hammered by onshores for over a week, that Sunday morning will feel like a blessing. The morning will be clean, but the afternoon turns to trash as the wind swings onshore.
Look, the honest truth is: Wednesday morning, 16th September, is your best bet. It’s the only time the stars line up for something that’s genuinely surfable and clean. Sunday the 20th is a distant second, but only for the early birds. After that, we’re back to onshore junk until the end of the forecast.
This is a tough stretch for the area, but forecasts can change. For now, circle that Wednesday morning and hope for a sneaky set or two.
Rusty.
