The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at Derecha de los Alemanes, a consistent reef break that’s usually a solid bet for beginners, but the wind pattern over the next two weeks is a real buzzkill. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions stretching from now all the way through to the end of the month. The water is sitting at a warm 73°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice for a paddle, but that’s about the only thing going for us.
The first real chance we see of anything worth a look is way off in the distance. On Saturday, 2nd August, the morning shows a bit of promise. The swell drops to 5 ft from the North with a period of 10 seconds, and most importantly, the wind finally swings to a cross-shore. The combined energy is moderate at (419), which is alright. It’s a long way out, but that’s the only window in the entire 16-day forecast where the conditions aren’t completely blown out. Everything before that is just consistent swell with a nasty cross-onshore breeze messing up the face.
The swell is building through the last week of July, with the North swell hitting 7 ft and 8 ft combined with a period of 9 seconds. That’s got some moderate to strong energy (up to 872 on the 30th), but with strong cross-onshore winds, it’s just going to be a lumpy, messy battlefield. Unless you’re a fan of getting rag-dolled by onshore mush, sit this one out. For a beginner-friendly reef like this, that kind of wind is a total write-off.
So, the honest truth? The only standout, and I mean *only*, is that Saturday morning on the 2nd of August. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the conditions line up for a decent, clean-ish wave. The rest of the fortnight is a hard pass. Keep your board waxed and your fingers crossed for a better forecast.
Rusty.
