The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Derecha de los Alemanes.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid block of poor conditions stretching from Sunday the 6th right through to Saturday the 12th. The wind is a stubborn cross-onshore from the north, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, and it’s just tearing the surface up. The swell is hanging around the 4ft to 6ft range from the north, but with periods mostly between 6 and 8 seconds, it’s short-period wind chop, not real swell. The combined energy is moderate at best, with values like 238 (September 6th afternoon) to 454 (September 12th morning), but it’s all messy. You’d be better off taking the week off.
Now, things start to look a little more interesting on Sunday the 13th. The morning is the standout. We get a clean-up: a light cross-offshore breeze from the east at just 3 mph, and the swell drops to 4ft from the north with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (219), and the conditions are clean. This is a real window of opportunity, but keep in mind this is a beginner-friendly reef break, and crowds are possible, so get there early.
Monday the 14th morning is your other bright spot. It’s glassy – a light offshore from the west-northwest at 3 mph, with a 3ft groundswell from the north-northwest. The period jumps to 14 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (304). This will be clean, but take it as a caveat: that long period groundswell can make it break a bit straight on a beach break; on a reef setup like this, it should be fun and well-shaped. The water temperature is 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus.
After that, the week of the 15th onward fades back into poor form with more cross-onshore winds and smaller, weaker swell. The 21st shows a little pulse of 3ft from the north with an 11-second period, but with a cross-on breeze, it’s not a goer.
Overall, your best bet is the morning of Sunday the 13th and the glassy morning on Monday the 14th. The rest of the 16 days is a washout.
Rusty.
