Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's looking grim. We've got a block of poor conditions stretching out for the entire 16-day forecast window. The problem is a persistent cross-onshore wind from the north and north-northeast that just won't let up, keeping the ocean a choppy, blown-out mess. For the first few days, through early July, there's very little energy in the water, with combined swell energy hovering around a weak 162 (Sunday the 5th) and dropping off into the low double digits mid-week. The swell is small, under 3 ft, with short periods, so even the small windows are a write-off.
Around Tuesday the 14th of July, we see a pulse of energy come through, with combined swell energy climbing to a moderate 213, and swell heights pushing 4 ft. That sounds promising, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making for lumpy, average surf. The swell direction is from the north, which is fine for this exposed reef, but without clean wind, the quality is shot. This pattern of fresh cross-onshore wind continues right through until the end of the forecast on Monday the 20th of July, with swell energy even hitting 238 on Sunday the 19th of July. But again, that 19 mph wind from the north will be ruining any chance of a clean wave.
Honestly, for a spot like Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef break that needs clean conditions, there is no standout day. Every session is marked as "poor surf conditions." The water temp is about average for this time of year, but you won't care about that because you'll be fighting a cross-onshore chop all session. For the whole two weeks, the best you can hope for is a bigger, lumpy wave that's a chore to surf. Save the energy and wait for a shift in the wind.
That's it from me. No hero moments in this outlook.
