The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Derecha de los Alemanes is a tough one. The whole run is dominated by a persistent, moderate to fresh cross-onshore wind that just won't let up, and it’s making a mess of things. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special there.
The pattern is grim from the start on Sunday the 19th of July. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the NNE, but it’s a short-period 6 second windswell, and that 19 mph cross-on breeze is ruining it. The combined energy is weak at 160, and it’s just lumpy out there. That’s the story right through to the end of July. The swell does build – by Saturday the 25th we’re looking at a 7 ft from the north, but the wind is still 22 mph cross-onshore. The energy gets up to moderate (523), but the “poor surf conditions” call is spot on. It’s all just bumpy and ragged.
The only real change comes late in the run. On Thursday the 30th of July, the swell height hits 6 ft from the north, and the period jumps to 10 seconds – that’s a bit more groundswell character. The energy is strong, hitting 844. But the real standout is the afternoon: the wind shifts to a light onshore from the NNW at 16 mph. It’s not perfect, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. The 6 ft north swell at 10 seconds will have some push, and the reef at Derecha de los Alemanes is exposed to that direction. It’s still a beginner-friendly break, but at 6 ft and with the period, it’ll be a bit more challenging. That afternoon session on the 30th is the best on offer, but even then, it’s not a classic.
The rest of the first week of August looks like more of the same – fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf. The energy drops back to moderate. Overall, this is a grim 16 days. The wind is the enemy. There’s a gap of poor conditions from the 19th to the 30th, with only one brief window on the afternoon of the 30th that’s worth a look. Don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.
