The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a tough run ahead. The swell is there at times, but the wind is just not playing ball. Every single reading we’ve got shows a cross-onshore breeze, and that’s going to chop things up something shocking. The water temp is sitting at about 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re brave enough to get in.

We’re looking at Derecha de los Alemanes, a consistent reef break that’s exposed to the swell. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but you’ll want to be aware that crowds are possible here.

The first real sniff of anything worth paddling out for won’t be until Sunday afternoon, the 23rd of August. That’s a two-day gap with no real recommendations. On Sunday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, long period, so the waves will have some push and shape. The energy is strong (823) but that wind is still cross-onshore at 12 mph, so it’s going to be choppy.

Monday the 24th of August picks up a bit more size. The morning sees 6 ft from the NNW at 12 seconds, with combined energy at 959 – that’s moderate to strong. The afternoon holds 6 ft. But again, the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s poor surf conditions across the board.

Tuesday the 25th of August is similar, with 5 ft in the morning and 4 ft in the afternoon, period dropping to 10 seconds. Still cross-onshore. The energy is moderate (413 and 317).

From Wednesday the 26th of August onward, the swell size drops, and the period shortens. Wednesday morning is 3 ft from the N at 8 seconds, energy down to 151. The wind stays cross-onshore. It’s not great.

The following week, from the 27th of August right through to the 6th of September, the story doesn’t change. We see a few pulses of bigger swell – like the 7 ft on the 29th of August (Saturday morning) from the N at 10 seconds, energy hitting 926 – but the wind is relentless. It’s a fresh cross-onshore breeze, 19 to 22 mph, turning the ocean into a mess. The swell direction is N, not the optimum NNW, so the quality is further compromised.

There’s a period of more consistent cross-shore wind on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of September, but it’s still lumpy and cross-onshore. The swell stays around 3 ft to 4 ft, but with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, these are windswells, weak and messy.

Honestly, if you’re looking for clean, glassy conditions, you’re not going to find them here. The combined energy of all swells sometimes gets into the strong range (like 959 and 926), but the wind just ruins it. For a beginner-friendly reef break, this is a write-off. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent cross-onshore wind.

So, my call is: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a blank run. The area is seeing consistent swell, but the wind is the enemy. Keep an eye on it, forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
