The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s your man Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window on the cards, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough slog for most of it. The only named spot in the mix is Derecha de los Alemanes, a consistent reef setup that’s usually a good beginner-friendly option when the conditions line up. It’s exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is from the NNW.

The big problem here is the wind. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at a persistent cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the N and NNE, at 15 to 22 mph. That’s going to keep the surface chopped up and lumpy, making it pretty unattractive for a clean surf. The swell is around 5 ft to 7 ft, coming from the north with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, and the combined swell energy sits in the moderate range (204 to 552). It’s consistent, but the quality is just poor because of the wind. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Honestly, from Wednesday the 22nd of July right through to the end of the month, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. It’s a long stretch of mediocre to poor conditions. The energy builds a bit over the weekend of the 26th and 27th, with combined energy hitting 552, but those strong cross-onshore winds ruin any chance of good waves. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean surf session.

Then we hit Saturday the 1st of August. The morning shows a bit of a change. The wind drops right back to just 3 mph from the NE, which is a light cross-shore. The swell is still 5 ft from the north, but the period remains short at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 248. It’s still a marginal call, but that light wind is a major positive and will make the surface glassy. The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast,” but for a reef break like this, if the tide is right, you might find a few fun ones. This is the closest thing to a standout in the whole window, but it’s a long way off and not a sure thing, so keep expectations in check.

That little window of opportunity fades quickly. By Saturday afternoon, the wind picks back up to 9 mph and goes cross-onshore, and from Sunday the 2nd through to the end of the period on Thursday the 6th of August, it’s back to that same old story: cross-onshore winds, short-period north swell, and poor surf conditions. The swell drops right off towards the end, with heights down to 2 ft and combined energy as low as 87, so it’s a full washout.

So, the bottom line: there’s a brief, hopeful moment on the morning of Saturday the 1st of August when the wind goes light, and Derecha de los Alemanes might just offer a few clean waves. The rest of the forecast is a write-off. It’s one of those stretches where the consistency is there, but the quality is not. Don’t hold your breath, but keep an eye on that Saturday morning. Forecasts can change, and this setup tends to turn around eventually.

Stay salty,
Rusty
