The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s cooking at Derecha de los Alemanes. The outlook is pretty grim – not a single session in the entire 16-day window gets a good rating. Every day is looking like poor surf conditions with lumpy, choppy water.
Starting now on Thursday, August 27th, we’ve only got a 0.8ft north swell with a very short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 84. The wind is cranking from the NNE at 22 mph, a fresh cross-onshore breeze that’s just messing up the surface. The water is 75°, which is about 3° warmer than typical for this time of year – a little noticeable, but that’s the only good thing.
That nasty wind pattern sticks around. Friday the 28th sees the swell climb to 2ft and then 2ft, with energy building into moderate territory (213 and 426), but it’s still cross and cross-on wind from the NNE at 22 mph. Saturday the 29th actually brings a decent pulse: a 2ft north swell with an 11-second period, pumping the energy up to 929, which is strong. But guess what? Still cross-shore chop. For a spot that needs the offshore, that’s a wasted pulse. This thing looks more like a kite-foiling day than a paddle surf day.
Through the end of August and into early September, the swell bounces around, but the wind stays locked in from the north. On Sunday the 30th, we have a 2ft swell with 383 energy, but it’s moderate cross-shore wind. The water temps drop off the forecast after that first day, so no call there. There is a brief moment on the morning of September 5th where the wind goes light onshore from the NNW at just 9 mph, but the swell has shrunk to 0.8ft with weak energy (139). It’s flat.
September 6th has a tiny 0.6ft NN W swell with a very long 14-second period – energy at 253 – which gives it some grunt for a reef break like this, but it’s still crossed up. A long period like that can make for some nice shaped waves here, but only if the wind cooperates. It doesn’t.
There is no single standout session in this whole run. It’s a 16-day dry spell. For this spot, when the trade winds lock in from the north, this kind of blank run is more the rule than the exception. Don’t force it. Wait for that next south change. Forecasts can always flip, but right now, you’re better off taking a walk.
Rusty.
