The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Derecha de los Alemanes. This is a consistent reef break that’s good for beginners, exposed to swell, and likes it from the NNW.
Honestly, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer. There’s a big gap right at the start because everything is rated as poor surf conditions, and that pretty much sets the tone. The water is about 73°, which is a touch warmer than average for the season – about 2° above the norm – so it feels nice, but the waves won’t.
From Tuesday, July 28th, all the way to Wednesday, August 12th, it’s the same story. Nearly every session has cross-on or cross winds, with moderate to fresh breezes kicking up lumpy, choppy conditions. No glassy windows.
The swell does show up. By early August, you’ve got waves around 5 to 6 ft, and by the 10th of August it’s pushing 7 ft. The combined energy gets strong, hitting the 500s (537 on the morning of the 10th), so there’s power. But the period is short, only about 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s a disorganised, windblown mess.
Even the biggest days on the 10th and 11th of August are still cross-onshore and choppy. For a beginner reef, that means bumpy, hard-to-read waves and a scratchy paddle out. This setup looks better for kiting than surfing a proper board.
There’s no real standout session in this whole 16-day window. The near-term is a write-off, and the long-range stuff doesn’t look any better. Might be time to take a break.
