The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day window for Derecha de los Alemanes is a tough one. The whole stretch is plagued by persistent cross-onshore winds, and it never seems to let up. The swell is around, but it’s just not clean enough to get excited about. The water is sitting at 74°F with a touch warmer than normal anomaly, so it’s a nice bath, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The first decent surf on offer kicks off Thursday, August 6th, but it’s a non-starter. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the N with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (179), and the NNE wind at 16 mph is cross-on, making it choppy and poor. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
Friday, August 7th, looks similar. Morning brings 3ft from the N, still weak energy (149), and the same cross-on mess. The afternoon sees a slight bump to 4ft with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to moderate (300), but the wind swings to N at 19 mph, keeping it lumpy and poor. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are more of the same – 5ft swell, but always cross-on, always choppy or lumpy. The wind is relentless from the N or NNE, 16 to 19 mph.
This pattern holds for the entire first week. The swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft, with periods rarely getting above 8 seconds. The energy is moderate, hitting 292 at times, but it’s all wasted by the wind. The optimum swell direction for this reef is NNW, but we’re seeing N to NNE the whole time – not a great match.
The second week, from August 14th onward, is just a repeat. The swell stays in the 4ft to 5ft range, with a mix of 6 to 9-second periods. The wind never truly backs off. By the time we get to August 21st, the swell is still there, but it’s the same story: cross-on wind, poor surf. There is no standout day, no hidden gem. This is a full 16-day blank run for clean waves. Honestly, with the consistent swell but constant wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
It’s frustrating, but for this area, a stretch like this is normal. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
