The Lowdown
Hey, I’ve been through the next 16 days for the Canary Islands, looking at Derecha de los Alemanes (Los-Alemanes) – a consistent reef break that’s usually a good one for beginners. But man, it’s a tough run. That northerly wind just won’t quit, and it’s ruining everything. The water is 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for August, so at least the dip will feel nice, but the surf? It’s a complete write-off for paddle surfing the whole way.
Starting Thursday morning, 13th August, we’ve got a weak 4ft N swell with a short 6-second period and a moderate cross-onshore NNE breeze. Wave energy is moderate at 214, but the surface is choppy and lumpy. It’s poor. Thursday afternoon the swell drops to 2ft with stronger wind. Friday and Saturday are more of the same: 4ft to 5ft N swells, still short and weak, with cross-onshore wind. The energy bumps up a bit Saturday morning to 272, but it’s still a messy, bumpy mess.
Through the middle of the week – Monday 18th August to the next weekend – we get a slight improvement on paper: the period stretches to 9 seconds on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the swell drops to 3ft to 3ft. The wind stays cross-onshore and the wave comment is always “poor surf conditions.” The light breeze on Tuesday morning is the closest we come to clean, but it’s still tiny.
Then a pulse shows up around Friday 28th August – that’s over two weeks out. We see a 5ft N swell with an 8-second period and moderate energy hitting 359 to 426. That’s the biggest wave of the window, but the wind is still cross-onshore at 15-16 mph. On a reef like this, a 5ft swell with offshore wind would be a blast, but with this chop, it’s only gonna look good for kite surfers, not paddle surfers.
There is no standout day. No break worth a special mention. The whole 16 days is a stretch of flat, windy, or small junk. Don’t bother loading the board.
Stay patient, my friend.
