The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for this stretch.
Honestly, mate, it's a tough run. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty average with no real standout sessions. The wind just won't let up, staying cross-on or cross for the entire period, and that’s going to keep things choppy and lumpy at Derecha de los Alemanes (Los-Alemanes). We've got consistent swell, but the quality just isn't there. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, no surprises there.
We start off on Saturday, August 22, with a weak 3ft swell from the north, only 6-second period, and a 16 mph cross-on breeze. The combined energy is a weak 149, so not much push behind it. Conditions are poor and choppy, and it stays like that through Sunday. The swell tries to build a bit on Monday the 24th, hitting about 6ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 1111, which is moderate to strong. That's a bit more size, but it's still blown out by a 13-16 mph cross-on wind. Tuesday through the end of the month is more of the same – 4ft to 6ft swell but always with a messy cross-on breeze, mostly from the NNE or N, keeping the surf poor.
Heading into the first week of September, nothing changes. The wind stays fresh and onshore, the swell sits around 5ft, and the energy stays in the 300 to 600 range. The periods are mostly short, around 8 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. The only real change is late in the run, around the 4th and 5th of September, where we get some longer period 11-12 second NNW swell, but the energy is still moderate and the cross-on wind is relentless. Even on the 6th of September, with a 6ft north swell and 11-second period giving us an energy of 964, it's still being trashed by a 19 mph cross breeze.
There is nothing in this forecast that I’d point to as a good surf window. It's just going to be a long stretch of poor conditions.
Rusty, signing off.
