The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
To be straight with you, this outlook is a tough one. From now all the way through the end of the 16-day window on July 30th, the wave comment for every single session at Derecha de los Alemanes is "poor surf conditions." That’s a long, dry spell. We're looking at a solid 16-day gap with no surf worth paddling out for, which is a real bummer for the area. On the bright side, this spot is a *consistent* break, so it doesn't normally stay this flat and ugly for long. Forecasts can always change for the better, but right now, the run looks blank.
The water's sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for mid-July.
During this stretch, the swell does build a fair bit. By Wednesday, July 22nd, we're looking at afternoon chest-to-shoulder high waves at 5ft from the N, with moderate wave energy in the water (314). But the wind is a nightmare. It’s a relentless 19 mph cross-onshore breeze from the N all day, every day, turning the lineup into a lumpy, choppy mess. The period is only 8 seconds, which is a short, weak windswell anyway. Even though it's a reef break, which usually likes a bit of direction, a constant cross-onshore breeze doesn't do it any favors.
The strongest pulse of energy comes on Thursday, July 23rd, and right through the end of the month, with the swell pushing up to 5ft from the N (327 energy). However, the wind stays locked in as a moderate to fresh cross-onshore 12-19 mph from the N. Honestly, with that much swell in the water, strong side-onshore wind, and an exposed beach-reef setup, this looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. For a surfer, it's just not on.
Hang in there.
Rusty.
